Is Bosch Expecting a storm in the Plastics Packaging Industry?

Reasons why Bosch is selling the packaging operations

• packaging operations have insufficient synergies with Bosch’s other activities;
• packaging operations could compete more effectively outside the group;
• Bosch wants to focus on other topics such as transformation and digitalisation of the group. Bosch is the largest car part maker and wants to focus on electric and self-driving cars and internet of things.

Bosch hasn’t held talks with any potential buyer at this point-in-time and wishes to sell the company as one entity.
