Wolfertschwenden, Spain - By acquiring Mobepack Sistem, Multivac has clearly expanded its market position on the Iberian Peninsula. In terms of the agreement of purchase Mobepack Sistem S.L. has been taken over by Multivac Packaging Systems España. Mobepack has 6,500 m2 of industrial space and currently employs approximately 80, who will be integrated in the Spanish distribution and service business of Multivac Spain. The manufacturing capacity of Mobepack Sistem will continue being used within the Multivac group of companies. By the acquisition, Multivac Spain has expanded its product portfolio to include the Weber range of products. In 1996, Mobepack took over the distribution and service of the German Group Weber Maschinenbau in the Spanish and Portuguese markets. Weber is the global leader in the manufacture of industrial slicers and has a position similar to that of Multivac in the global markets. In addition, MultivacC takes over an extensive customer base of packaging film processors in various market areas from Mobepack. Multivac Spain intends continuing to market this extensive packaging film range and to expand this aspect of the business quickly
