Mosca Malaysia Celebrates Grand Opening of New Facility

Maschinenfabrik Gerd Mosca (MGM) proudly marks a major milestone with the official grand opening of its new manufacturing facility in Malaysia, located at No. 6, Jalan Maju Cemerlang 2, Taman Perindustrian Maju Cemerlang, Ulu Tiram. The Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Malaysia, Dr. Peter Blomeyer, officiated the opening ceremony, highlighting the strengthening economic ties between Germany and Malaysia and the importance of the commitment of German companies to investment, employment and vocational training in Malaysia.

As a subsidiary of Mosca GmbH, a global supplier of strapping and end-of-line packaging systems, MGM continues to expand its footprint across Asia, one strap at a time, while remaining true to the values of its family-owned German heritage.

“Malaysia has been a strategic milestone in our family company’s journey toward internationalization. With today’s inauguration of our new production facility, we are building on that legacy – and sending a strong signal for sustainable growth, collaborative partnerships, and entrepreneurial foresight across borders” said Timo Mosca, Corporate CEO of Mosca Group.

A Journey from Small Shop Lot

MGM’s journey in Malaysia began in a small lot in 2009, expanded to a medium-sized facility in 2013, and has now culminated in the launch of its most advanced manufacturing site in 2025 —marking a new chapter in the company’s history.

“From day one, we have focused on empowering local talent and growing alongside our community,” said Witold Nowak, Director of MGM. “Today, we are proud to be recognized not only as a technology leader in the end-of-line packaging industry, but also as a reputable employer that values and nurtures its people.”

Technology That Leads Sustainably

As part of Mosca’s global engineering roadmap, the new facility introduces the region’s most advanced strapping machines — engineered for durability, speed, and energy efficiency. Mosca has led the transition from conventional heat-sealing units to its high-performance ultrasonic SoniXs sealing technology. This innovation enables a highly sophisticated and energy-efficient sealing process, significantly reducing environmental impact while maintaining precision and reliability.

Local Talent, Global Standard

One of MGM’s proudest achievements is its consistent investment in Malaysian talent across all levels — from shop floor technicians to senior management. The new facility brings tangible economic benefits to the region, including job creation, supply chain development, and technology transfer. With this milestone, MGM not only strengthens its position in the Asia-Pacific market but also reaffirms its long-term commitment to Malaysia and its people.

Packaging Machinery Process Advantage

Drive solutions from Nord Drivesystems increase the efficiency in system operation at several points in the packaging process chain. With two concepts, the company mainly focuses on the fields of end-of-line packaging and primary packaging, where its decentralised drive technology and wash-down-capable aluminium housings achieve significant cost benefits.

Packaging processes require a high level of dynamism, flexibility and cost efficiency. End-of-line packaging and primary packaging offer great potential here that is increased by drive solutions from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS.

Decentralised drive technology

With a solution combining decentralised drive electronics and asynchronous motors, NORD provides the end-of-line packaging with an in many ways efficient alternative to centrally controlled concepts. The mounted frequency inverters free the drive system of complex wiring. This significantly reduces installation and maintenance efforts. Furthermore, the systems become easier to scale to that they can be quickly and easily adapted to new requirements. Thanks to their high overload capacity and control without encoder, drive solutions from NORD achieve the dynamics required by applications in final packaging. The integrated POSICON module allows for precise positioning. All in all, this results in significant cost benefits over the commonly used centrally controlled servos solutions.

Drives with treated aluminium housing

For primary packaging, NORD’s NXD tupH® surface protection reveals the process advantages of components with aluminium housings. With NXD tupH®, aluminium surfaces are electrolytically treated and coated with a powerful sealer. This makes them particularly resistant to extreme environmental conditions such as contact with aggressive cleaning chemicals in wash-down areas. Thanks to the sealer, no particles will flake off even if damage occurs to the surface. NXD tupH®-treated surfaces are free from PFAS, and food-safe according to the provisions of the FDA and the EU Regulation 1935/2004 as well as the respective regulations in Switzerland and the MERCOSUR states. The strengths of aluminium are thus also coming into effect in primary packaging. Aluminium is lightweight, economical and fully recyclable. Furthermore, aluminium housings provide high heat conductivity, thus reducing the maximum surface temperature.
