When there is disruption all around, being connected brings stability. In the current packaging environment, there is certainly disruption – not only from the COVID-19 pandemic, but also from ever-increasing competition and pressures around shorter times to market, smaller lot sizes, the need for perfect color consistency and quality control, and to fulfil corporate sustainability commitments.

BOBST’s latest digital solution – TooLink - is drastically reducing changeover times by connecting tooling, machinery and processes, helping converters who are under pressure to deliver smaller runs with a quicker turnaround time.

The BOBST vision is shaping a new reality where connectivity, digitalization, automation and sustainability are the cornerstones of packaging production. BOBST continues to deliver best-in-class machines, and is now adding intelligence, software capabilities and cloud-based platforms, to make packaging production better than ever.

Smart Factories, Technology Lounges and Customer Reference Sites are set as the preferred engagement model with clients. A new strategy to support the BOBST vision to shape the future of the packaging world, which reflects BOBST values and responsibilities.

Bobst Group SA, Mex/Switzerland (“Bobst Group” or “BOBST”) confirms a strategic investment in CITO-SYSTEM GmbH, Schwaig/Germany (“CITO-SYSTEM” or “Company”) that leverages the strengths of both companies to drive innovation in tooling and in packaging production worldwide.
