Expansion in Europe with the Ingolstadt Service Centre
The opening of the Ingolstadt service centre marks a significant expansion of Tosca’s footprint in Europe. Covering approximately 2,700 m², the centre is strategically located to meet the growing demand for Tosca’s innovative reusable plastic products and pooling services.
