As Vincent Nagels explains, Tosca is vertically integrated, which means it manages all the value contributors across the entire supply chain.“ We are uniquely able to combine our upstream and downstream products to create a powerful, effective returnable packaging for our customers, ranging from small-medium companies to one of the largest European FMCGs and retailers.”
Innovation that never stops
Innovation is at the heart of Tosca’ s identity. With a dedicated team focused on product design, material science and digital technologies, the company continues to push the boundaries of what reusable packaging can achieve.
“ We’ re not just reacting to change; we’ re anticipating it,” says Jurgen Van Roy.“ Our innovation team looks at how to improve the strength and durability of assets, how to make materials more sustainable, how to embed technology like tracking to create smarter, more responsive systems.”
Automation is another area where Tosca is anticipating evolving needs. As warehouses become increasingly automated, the consistency and reliability of plastic pallets become
critical. As Marco Gonzalez explains,“ plastic load carriers are much more suitable because they maintain their shape, weight, and integrity across multiple uses, which is essential for reliable handling by machines and AI systems.”
A trusted partner in transformation
Tosca’ s value extends beyond products. At its core, the company operates as a strategic partner, working closely with customers to assess their needs, identify opportunities for efficiency, and develop long-term solutions. This collaborative approach sets Tosca apart in a crowded marketplace.
“ Customers approach us because they see us as experts in reusable plastic packaging. They come to us for our insights. Whether it’ s reducing costs, increasing food safety or adapting to new legislation, we work hand-in-hand to find the best way forward,” says Vincent Nagels
Laurent Le Mercier, EMEA President, concludes:“ We value long-term relationships with everyone in the supply chain – from carriers and retailers to third-party wash centres and recyclers. It’ s only through close partnerships that we can continuously improve and evolve together.”
As the pressures on the global food supply chain grow, Tosca’ s reusable packaging solutions become vital and transformative.
