Stuttgart, Germany-based Bosch Packaging Technology has also announced the completion of the merger with its Japanese subsidiary Eisai Machinery Co Ltd into Bosch Packaging Technology K.K.
At present, the name Eisai Machinery remains unchanged as a product brand of Bosch Packaging Technology.
As a result of the incorporation, Bosch Packaging Technology K.K. now runs offices in Tokyo and Osaka and production sites in Funabashi and Honjo.
Explaining that the merger further strengthens Bosch's position in the Japanese market, the company's president Joachim Baczewski said: "By bundling our competencies, uniting our employees and consolidating our portfolios, we make use of the existing synergies."
Kenji Hanawa, former president of Eisai Machinery Co, now vice president Inspection Technology added that Bosch aims to become the number one partner for processing, packaging and inspection technology, as well as retail and after-market service in Japan, and that the merger is an "important step in this direction".
Bosch Packaging Technology offers an inspection technology portfolio ranging from manual to semi-automated and fully automated solutions for particle and cosmetic inspection of vials, ampoules, syringes and tablets, leak detection as well as x-ray technology for capsule inspection.
All companies involved are now integrated into the worldwide Bosch Group technology and services network.
