This historic partnership resulted from the relationship established between the founders of COSTRAL (Willi Kuhlmann) and ALBAGNAC (Alain Albagnac) back in the '80s. The Alliance was set up in 2013 under the leadership of the second generation of these two family-run businesses.

In 1987, ALBAGNAC, located in Sauzet (46), was discovered by the wine industry leaders for its major innovation at the time: a mechanical labelling machine capable of eliminating the arduous and repetitive task of manually sticking labels on bottles.

Today, used in vineyards worldwide and renowned throughout the industry, our company offers a wide selection of highly-reliable, robust machinery for capping, crimping, labelling and branding.

Easily integrated into complex manufacturing chains, production rates can reach up to 6,000 bottles/hour.
