Logoplaste is a Portuguese company, producing rigid plastic containers. Logoplaste was incorporated in 1976, pioneering in-house manufacturing in Europe, with the “Hole in the Wall” concept. ("Hole in the Wall" is industry jargon, describing the process of building the plant that manufactures a product's plastic packaging immediately next door to the plant where it is manufactured, as an addition to their building, reducing shipping costs.) Managing 63 plants today, Logoplaste is headquartered in Cascais. ==History== * 1976 – Start of the operations with Yoplait (yoghurts) and Nestlé (caps) * 1980 – First large scale PVC operation in mineral water (Luso) * 1989 – First PET operation with Coca-Cola in Portugal * 1993 – First thin wall operation with Unilever in Portugal * 1994 - Logoplaste goes International in Spain, with mineral waters * 1995 – Start up of the Brazilian operation with Danone * 1997 – Logoplaste enters the French market with an in-house plant operation for Coke and the first PET pre-form plant is started in Portugal, producing today over 900 million units per year * 1998 – Logoplaste arrives in the UK market, with one large plant for Procter & Gamble.
