As part of a press breakfast at FachPack, Hans-Joachim Boekstegers, Director and CEO of MULTIVAC, gave an overview of the current development of the business as well as the packaging trends at MULTIVAC and the company's product highlights on the exhibition stand.
“Contrary to the general market trend, our business continues to develop well,” explained Hans-Joachim Boekstegers. “Our production capacity is fully utilized and we are seeing very positive development in all the company's business units. Following 2017, in which our turnover reached virtually the 1 billion euro mark, we are now expecting in the current business year an increase in turnover of up to ten percent. There are however many economic and political risk factors and challenges, which will have an impact on our business in the coming year - these include the isolationist policy of the US Government, the consequences of Brexit, increasing nationalism in countries such as Italy and Poland, protectionist tariffs and highly fluctuating raw material prices.”
