By signing the agreement, Bosch has become one of pladis’ worldwide preferred suppliers of process and packaging technology for bakery, chocolate, and confectionery products.

Bosch Packaging Technology’s large, reliable portfolio of system solutions, supported by a worldwide sales and service network with local points of contact, were the key motivators for pladis to sign the agreement.
