Bosch and Paal team up for bag-in-box push

Bosch Packaging Technology plans to grow its presence in the bag-in-box sector through a licensing agreement with fellow German packaging machinery supplier Paal.

Under the arrangement, Paal will produce carton machines for the food sector, which will be integrated into the packaging lines of both firms.

The modular CBI and CBC cartoning machines, which have a three-stage format and standard pitches of six, nine and 12in, will be available through the distribution networks of both firms.

Bosch Packaging Machinery, based in Waiblingen, said the co-operation would allow both firms to develop their bag-in-box business and also lead to a "significant increase" in sales of complete lines, comprising the cartoners, case packing and palletising.

Bosch develops packaging lines for the pharmaceutical, confectionery and cosmetics industries.

Paal, based in Remshalden, also distributes its machines to the food, beverage, bakery and pet food sectors.
