Confectionery processing

Confectionery packaging

Developing new packaging technologies in the confectionery sector is a core focus of the Viersen site.

Bosch’s packaging machines produce a large variety of pack styles including double twist wrap, single-end fold, basket fold and horizontal bags. The packaging machines produced in Viersen feature a modular design to enable a high degree of flexibility.

Filling and capping
