“A clear growth strategy is being pursued by swissplast and this is demonstrated perfectly by these acquisitions,” explained Barac S. Bieri, owner of the swissplast group. “What’s more, our aim is greater product diversification, especially in the manufacture of workpiece carriers and trays. As CAP-Vakuform GmbH is the unequivocal specialist in this field, it will play a key role in helping us achieve this aim.”
