Bosch helps Wibisco satisfy the increasing market demand for cookies with a new horizontal packaging system
Barbados has many faces. Some recognize it as a top holiday destination, filled with sunny beaches and tropical weather. To music fans it is the birthplace of famous pop star Rihanna. The island is also the home base of West India Biscuit Company Limited (Wibisco), a 100-plus year-old company that brings its own distinct value to the island, its visitors and the locals.
Based in Bridgetown, Wibisco is one of the oldest established commercial bakeries in the Caribbean. With a long history of producing quality baked cookies and crackers (since the 1910), Wibisco has grown into one of the Caribbean’s most dynamic and successful companies. With a modern plant and approximately 250 employees, Wibisco has evolved into a world class operation and delivers its iconic sweet and salty products (like “Shirley Biscuits”, “Eclipse” and “Sodabix Crackers”) far beyond the Caribbean, for example to the U.S. or United Kingdom. Bosch Packaging Technology has helped Wibisco to grow its business over the past 30 years by providing reliable feeding and packaging equipment that has increased production output in a limited space, maximized efficiency and ensured high level of cleanability.
