ALP Group Acquires SoffSeal, Inc.
In late October 2023, the ALP Group proudly announced the acquisition of SoffSeal, Inc., a U.S.-based manufacturer specializing in rubber seals and molded auto parts for leading American automotive brands. This strategic acquisition, executed through its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary, ALP USA Inc., significantly strengthens ALP's presence in the American market and enhances its distribution network.
