Case Study: ALPLA Group achieves 24/7 global production continuity and rapid, minutes‑level recovery with Veeam Availability Suite

Packaging manufacturer ALPLA reliably supplies customers in 45 countries with Veeam

ALPLA, an Austrian family-owned packaging manufacturer with 178 locations in 45 countries and over 21,600 employees, needed highly reliable IT to support its distributed production sites and tightly integrated customer systems. Their previous backup solution was cumbersome, required extensive manual effort, had limited reporting, and made recovery slow—so ALPLA sought an automated, easy-to-manage backup that would speed recovery and enable local self-service at remote sites.

ALPLA deployed Veeam Availability Suite across its two main data centers and remote sites to protect more than 1,000 VMs and 500+ TB, using local backups, WAN-accelerated transfers to headquarters, and tape for long-term retention. The solution cut transferred data by roughly 70%, enabled recoveries in minutes (one plant was fully restored in under 30 minutes versus days before), simplified compliance with retention tags, and now secures 24/7 production at nearly 180 locations.
