Tosca, a global leader in reusable packaging and pooling solutions, has announced a significant expansion of its operations in Germany to support the growing needs of retail partners across Central Europe. The opening of a new service centre in Salzkotten and the expansion of its existing facility in Frechen represent a strategic investment in infrastructure to serve key retail supply chains and support increased demand and customer growth throughout the region.
New Salzkotten Service Centre – Enhancing Capacity and Efficiency
On February 1, 2025, Tosca opened a new service centre in Salzkotten to meet the rising demand for its plastic half pallet. Covering 3,300 square metres and offering an annual capacity of 3.1 million trips for half pallets, the facility significantly enhances Tosca’s operational footprint in the region.
The site plays a key role in supporting Tosca’s reusable plastic half pallet operations, helping to onboard and scale major FMCG opportunities effectively.
Strategic Expansion of Frechen Service Centre – Supporting Growth
In addition to the new opening, Tosca has completed a substantial expansion of its existing service centre in Frechen. The facility’s footprint has doubled, enabling approximately 2 million additional half pallet flows per year.This expansion supports anticipated business growth of over 30% in 2025 and ensures Tosca can continue to deliver consistent, high-quality service to customers across Germany.
Strengthening Supply Chain Support for Retailers in Central Europe
These developments reflect Tosca’s continued focus on strengthening supply chain efficiency and reliability for key players in the FMCG and retail sectors. The investments are tailored to meet the rising operational demands of Tosca’s half pallet business, delivered through a joint programme with several prominent retail chains in Central Europe.
“These strategic investments allow us to keep pace with growing demand while maintaining the high standards of service, reliability, and sustainability expected by our customers,” said Marco Gonzalez, Managing Director for Central Europe. “With enhanced infrastructure in Salzkotten and Frechen, we are well positioned to support our continued growth across Germany.”
