Company said the facility will serve Germany’s largest retailers
Reusable packaging specialist Tosca has opened a state-of-the-art service centre in Ingolstadt, Germany. This downstream-focused facility, equipped with solar panels for sustainable energy usage and advanced technology capabilities, is designed to support Germany’s largest retailers with efficient, data-driven services.
Tosca said its custom-fit reusable packaging and pooling solutions unlock value and sustainability at every step of its customers’ supply chain.
“With the largest selection of 100 per cent recyclable, reusable plastic packaging in the market and in-house R&D capabilities, we offer solutions purpose-built to eliminate food, labour, and transportation waste while upholding high-quality standards, safeguarding against product damage and contamination,” the company said.
“We manage our customers’ logistics seamlessly, streamlining their supply chain, simplifying maintenance, optimising space and enhancing efficiency.”
The company recently received the EcoVadid Gold award in recognition of its sustainability initiatives in Europe and the UK. The award places Tosca in the top 5 per cent of companies assessed.
“We’re excited to unveil our newest service centre in Ingolstadt, a testament to our ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional service and value to our customers,” said Marco Gonzalez, managing director for Central Europe at Tosca. “This expansion highlights our ability to adapt quickly to market demands, as well and our dedication to growth in reusable plastic packaging solutions across Europe.”
The opening of the Ingolstadt service centre marks a significant expansion of Tosca’s footprint in Europe. With a total area of approximately 2,700m², the centre is strategically positioned to cater to the growing demand for Tosca’s reusable plastic products and pooling services in the region. With the addition of the Ingolstadt centre, Tosca currently operates 43 service centres across Europe.
Driven by the increasing business in plastic half pallet operations, Tosca said the decision to establish the Ingolstadt centre underscores its dedication to supporting its downstream customers across Europe.
“By optimising operations and reducing transport costs, the new centre will enhance efficiency while facilitating further growth in the region. Importantly, the centre is positioned to serve our largest downstream customer in Central Europe and one of its key suppliers,” the company said.
Ingolstadt is equipped with advanced technologies, including RFID gates, scanning equipment, and automation systems to ensure optimal data accuracy and provide customers with deep insights into their supply chain performance.
In August/September, Tosca will install a fully automated wash line at their site, including a conveyor reader on the wash line to automatically update asset status and monitor performance.
