Bosch to acquire Tecsor

Bosch Packaging Technology has announced it plans to acquire the assets of Tecsor Machines et Systèmes SAS for an undisclosed amount. The two companies signed agreements for the acquisition on 11 June.

Tecsor develops and sells machinery for making and filling PET containers for liquid and paste-like foodstuffs. Established in 2005, the company now generates sales of approximately €2 million per annum. Based in Meyreuil, near Marseilles, Tecsor employs 14 associates.

The company’s primary customers are in the food and beverage industry. Using a special blow-moulding technology, Tecsor’s machines can make and fill between 6000 and 32,000 bottles per hour.

“With Tecsor, we are further adding to our activities in the area of liquid foods,” said Friedbert Klefenz, President of the Bosch Packaging Technology division. “The new machinery we offer will save our customers materials, energy and costs. For its part, Bosch Packaging Technology will improve its chances in the market.”
