Looking back on 2025: Mosca to persistently difficult market environment by focusing on efficiency

The past year demanded Mosca high Mosca adaptability from Mosca . Contrary to initial forecasts, there was no noticeable economic recovery in the second half of the year. "We have experienced a year that has challenged us in many ways. The expected upturn has failed to materialize across all markets," explains Timo Mosca. "The current market situation requires us to focus fully on our core competencies and strictly prioritize our projects."

Malaysia, trade fairs, and machinery

Despite the difficult environment, Mosca made Mosca investments in its future viability. With the opening of a new production facility in Johor, Malaysia, in June 2025, the group strengthened its presence in growth markets outside Europe. "With the expanded capacity in Johor, we are reaffirming our commitment to sustainable growth, close partnerships, and entrepreneurial vision across geographical boundaries," said Timo Mosca.

At last year's trade fairs, Mosca presented several new machines and solutions that fit into increasingly digitized production and packaging lines. At Fachpack in Nuremberg Mosca unveiled the two powerful strapping machines SoniXs Speed and SoniXs , which offer customers efficiency and digital features. The new Digital Load Pass also celebrated its premiere at LogiMAT in Stuttgart. It contains all the information about the strapping band used in a QR code—including the energy consumption during packaging and the resulting carbon footprint.

PPWR and project alliance

The new EU Packaging Packaging Regulation (PPWR) also had an impact: Together with twelve other European companies, Mosca launched Mosca "Project Alliance for Strapping Bands" (PAU) and advocated for an exemption for strapping bands in order to prevent unnecessary emissions and restrictions on transport safety while promoting sustainable recycling strategies.

The past year was overshadowed by the death of company founder Gerd Mosca. "Thanks to his pioneering spirit, his courage to embrace change, and his unwavering faith in people, my fatherGmbH the foundation for Mosca GmbH on which the company stands today. This legacy will continue to play a decisive role in the direction of the company in the future," said Timo Mosca.

2026 brings the use of artificial intelligence, new tape production in Mexico, and further internationalization

The year 2026 marks the 60th anniversary of Mosca GmbH. "We are starting our anniversary year with a very realistic view of the coming months," summarizes Timo Mosca. This means that, in view of the continuing cautious forecast for the first half of the year, the company is refraining from making expansive forecasts and is instead focusing on consolidating its own strengths. A key component of this is the strategic use of artificial intelligence to simplify internal processes and use resources more efficiently.

At the same time, final preparations are underway for the new tape production facility in Mexico, which will supply the entire tape portfolio for the Central and South American markets from 2026 onwards. The company also plans to expand its business in India and China. "We have experienced difficult external market conditions in Germany and Europe over the past three years. For the coming months and years, we hope to see a clear direction and a normalization of the political framework conditions so that we can set the course for growth again," concludes Timo Mosca.
