Rosti CEO Jonas Persson Evaluates the Changing Global Landscape in Plastic Injection Molding

The global manufacturing landscape is evolving quickly, bringing both challenges and opportunities for businesses seeking to optimize their supply chains. At Rosti, we are committed to giving our customers the flexibility and support they need to navigate these changes, helping ensure they stay competitive in an increasingly complex environment.

Expanding Our Presence in Asia

Expanding strategically in Asia is a top priority for us. India marks the first step of our regional expansion strategy, allowing us to build a stronger presence and bring even more value to our customers. Our facility in India will be operational in Q3 2025. Beyond India, we’re exploring additional opportunities, such as a new site in Vietnam. Many of our customers are also looking to expand into new markets throughout Asia, and we are well positioned to support them with seamless, dependable production solutions.

A Truly Global Offering

While Asia continues to be a critical hub for manufacturing, we are also seeing more businesses interested in diversifying where they manufacture. This is driven by factors like being closer to key markets, reducing supply chain risks, and taking advantage of manufacturing incentives. Rosti is well-positioned to help with this transition, thanks to our extensive and established global network, which includes strategic locations in Utah, Wisconsin, and North Carolina. We offer robust manufacturing capabilities with flexibility and efficiency, whether it’s prototyping, high-volume production, or assembly.

Our expertise in managing seamless production transfer, complex supply chains, and our commitment to customer satisfaction make us the ideal partner for companies looking to strengthen operations in the US or anywhere in the world.

Commitment to Growth in Europe

Europe is seeing renewed investment in manufacturing, with many companies choosing to boost production across the continent. To support this shift, Rosti is making significant investments across our European operations, including the recently announced new site in Gislaved, Sweden. 

We’re also growing and upgrading our European facilities, ensuring we have the right capacity and capabilities to meet the needs of both our current and future customers.

Supporting Customers in Strategic Decision-Making

One of the biggest challenges for our customers is figuring out the best location for their production. Economic changes, supply chain risks, and shifting market conditions have created a growing need for flexible production options. 

Many companies are now searching for a second production location to reduce risk and avoid potential supply chain disruptions. Rosti’s Production Transfer Team offers expert guidance, helping businesses make informed decisions about where to manufacture while ensuring a smooth, efficient transition.

Integrated Solutions for a Dynamic Market

Our deep experience in integrated solutions gives our customers the confidence to try new production models. In some cases, this includes split production within the same continent, increasing agility and resiliency. Existing customers are leveraging Rosti’s global footprint more than ever, while new clients are recognizing the benefits of working with an injection molding partner that offers real, global flexibility.

Rosti is uniquely equipped to help companies manage manufacturing transitions, providing a trusted, experienced team that can handle relocations quickly and seamlessly. At a time when adaptability is crucial, our customers know they’re in good hands.

A Shift Across Every Industry

We are seeing a fundamental shift across all industries, especially in the medical field, where companies want to consolidate their supplier base. Many medical customers are looking for a single global partner who can meet their changing needs, eliminating the need for multiple smaller suppliers. The sector is still seeing strong growth, and Rosti is ready to meet that rising demand.

Consistent Quality and Competitive Pricing

No matter where our customers decide to manufacture, they can count on Rosti to deliver the same high-quality standards. Our global network ensures consistency, making it easier for companies to move production without needing extensive revalidation or recertification processes. 

We also work closely with our customers to realign their production strategies to address pricing and cost challenges, making sure they stay competitive in their markets.

Sustainability at the Core

Even in challenging times, sustainability stays a top priority for Rosti and our customers. All our sites are moving forward with cleaner, renewable energy solutions so that both current and future customers don’t have to compromise their sustainability goals when changing production locations. This gives our customers peace of mind that their environmental commitments remain solid, no matter where they choose to manufacture.

In today’s fast-changing global environment, agility and dependability are more important than ever. At Rosti, we are dedicated to guiding our customers through these complexities, ensuring they have the flexibility and support needed to succeed in a competitive world.
