The oystar group thus continues with its strategic restructuring &ldquoas a corporate group it is our aim to employ our resources as efficiently as possible and to offer our customers the optimum in terms of technology,&rdquo said oystar ceo tom graf. &ldquoand we are taking an important step in this direction by recombining development, production, service and sales of our cup filling and sealing machines.&rdquo in the future oystar gasti in schwäbischhall will concentrate on the development of sophisticated packaging solutions for the dairy and food industry as well as on maintenance and service. Assembly of the gasti machines, however, will be concentrated in the hessian town of ranstadt. There hamba and hassia brand forming, filling and sealing machines are already being manufactured for the dairy and food industry. Thus oystar will be able to develop substantial synergies when it comes to manufacturing. The company&rsquos employees were already informed last week about the planned changes. As a result of the new structure the workforce at the schwäbischhall location will be reduced from approximately seventy to around fifty. No layoffs for operational reasons are planned.
