AsianScientist (Apr. 16, 2014) – Bosch Packaging Technology, a process and packaging technology solutions provider, has expanded production capacity in Japan with their new site in Musashi.
Following relocation from Honjo to the 3,240 m2 Musashi site, Bosch Packaging Technology now has considerably more space at its disposal for the development and assembly of its machines. The €1.6 million (US$2.2 million) investment in the Musashi site underscores Bosch’s commitment to Japan as a major market for pharmaceuticals inspection technology.
“Expansion of the Bosch global center of competence in Japan is important for our innovative strength,” said Peter Tyroller, member of the Bosch board of management with responsibility for the Asia-Pacific region.
Bosch’s Inspection Technology unit was established in 2012 following the acquisition of Eisai Machinery, a Japanese company. It comprises manual, semi-automated and fully automated inspection machines designed to identify particles in pharmaceutical products. It also includes the cosmetic inspection of containers or tablets in order to detect defects such as scratches or discoloration.
