Bosch Rexroth for the packaging world
Packaging is a particularly complex industrial sector, where there is a need for machines that are customizable and flexible in terms of production, but where it is also necessary to implement new pre- and after-sales services and increase technological innovation.
Companies in the packaging industry today are looking for solutions to problems that may arise in terms of space, speed, line flexibility, modernization, or express special needs in terms of production. To this end, they need to turn to an integrator who proposes the best solution to meet each need.
Bosch Rexroth presides over this market as a single supplier and interlocutor, capable first of analyzing the customer’s request and then providing the corresponding solution in terms not only of products, but of the overall architecture of the plant, in all its complexity. In fact, the Bosch Rexroth product range can cover all the needs of a packaging line.
