Marseille-based Tecsor develops and sells machinery for making and filling PET containers for liquid and paste-like foodstuffs.
Set up in 2005, the company generated sales of roughly €2m in 2012. Tecsor employs 14 associates.
The firms have not decided to disclose the purchase price. The planned acquisition is subject to approval by the antitrust authorities.
Liquid foodstuffs business unit addition
"With Tecsor, we are further adding to our activities in the area of liquid foods," said Friedbert Klefenz, president of the Bosch Packaging Technology division.
In October 2012, the packaging specialist took over Ampack in K?nigsbrunn, Germany. Its portfolio includes filling machinery for cups and bottles. This machinery is mainly used to fill and package highly sensitive foodstuffs such as dairy products, baby food, and hospital food.
"The new machinery we offer will save our customers materials, energy, and costs. For its part, Bosch Packaging Technology will improve its chances in the market," Klefenz said.
In acquiring this process, Bosch Packaging Technology hopes to enter the machinery business for PET containers.
