Successful Tooling Transfer Enables Expanded Production in Germany

Rosti’s partnership with a leading global packaging provider continues to go from strength to strength.

What began in 2019 as a single-site production programme in Sweden has now evolved into a collaborative, multi-site partnership that now includes a second manufacturing base with Rosti Germany.

Initially, Rosti’s Sweden facility produced plastic injection moulded components that were shipped to the Netherlands for final assembly by the customer. Over time, the Rosti team worked closely with the customer to understand their wider manufacturing needs and identify opportunities for deeper collaboration.

That shared approach has now resulted in the successful approval and execution of a major Tooling Transfer Project, marking the first such transfer for this long-standing customer. The move saw production expanded to Rosti Germany to meet the customer’s growing demand and to transition away from an incumbent plastic injection moulding supplier in Germany.

With 40 tools in total split between the two sites, the project required meticulous planning and execution. Our in-house Production Transfer team, comprising highly experienced project managers, led the process from start to finish. Their expertise ensured all tooling was checked, tested, and validated before transfer, with any repairs or replacements managed internally to safeguard quality and minimise disruption.

A key factor in the success of this project has been the strong cultural alignment between Rosti and the customer. Both organisations share a commitment to quality, precision, and collaboration, creating a trusted partnership.

The decision to utilise Rosti’s sites in Sweden and Germany was driven by both capability and geography. Each location offers extensive experience with high-cavity tooling, while Rosti Germany’s position within mainland Europe integrates seamlessly into the customer’s existing supply chain, offering fast and efficient shipping into the Netherlands.

The customer’s decision to grow their partnership with Rosti was based on several key factors:

• Financial strength and stability of the Rosti Group, offering risk mitigation and long-term reliability.
• Proven quality and validation processes demonstrated by Rosti Sweden, delivering trust, precision, and speed.
• Global footprint and process consistency which ensures identical quality standards across multiple sites.
• Dedicated production transfer expertise, providing a safe and experienced pair of hands to manage complex tooling transitions.

This project reflects Rosti’s ongoing commitment to supporting customers through scalable, high-precision manufacturing solutions that combine global reach with local expertise. This enables Rosti to build long-term partnerships founded on trust, quality, and collaboration.
