Atlanta, Georgia, USA, December 18, 2019 – Tosca, an innovator in reusable packaging and supply chain solutions in the United States, announced today that it has acquired Polymer Logistics (“Polymer”), an innovative company specializing in reusable transport packaging and retail merchandising systems in the United States, Europe, and Israel from a consortium of private investors.
