06.12.2019 - Excellence all along the line: Uhlmann Pac-Systeme and pester pac automation join forces
Uhlmann Pac-Systeme, world-leading system provider for packing pharmaceuticals, and pester pac automation GmbH, top supplier in the end-of-line packaging sector, have become partners. The two companies have therefore consistently realized the total solution provider concept. Benefitting from their combined expertise, they are now positioned to offer their customers excellent solutions for holistic pharmaceutical packaging from one source.
Together, the two companies have fortified their leading positions on the market and will further expand their lead in joint cooperation. A cooperation agreement was signed by the two parties on 4 December 2019 and the cooperation is due to be launched at the turn of the year. After an initial phase, the companies’ objective is to implement the first complete lines and projects as of Interpack at the beginning of May 2020. The two companies will still continue to operate as autonomous and legally independent entities.
“Over the past 70 years, Uhlmann has evolved from a machine manufacturer to the world’s leading systems supplier for packaging pharmaceutical products in blisters, bottles and cartons. On the basis of innovative packaging lines, services and digital solutions, Uhlmann sets standards in terms of quality, efficiency, and availability. Our two companies will mutually benefit from this partnership through the interplay and enhancement of our competencies,” explains Norbert Gruber, Chairman of the Uhlmann Managing Board.
“Our customers obtain custom-tailored complete solutions with seamless integration in networked production processes. This partnership sets the benchmark in this sector.”
