The pharmaceutical industry is currently undergoing a comprehensive transformation process. While health systems in established markets are subject to enormous pressure on costs, so-called „Pharmerging Markets“ are experiencing impressive growth. This development faces pharmaceutical companies with a wealth of challenges while revealing numerous opportunities for suppliers of production technology. Driven by these developments, six leading technological companies representing special machine engineering established a strategic alliance in April 2011. The members of Excellence United are the companies Bausch+Ströbel, Fette Compacting, Glatt, Harro Höfliger, Uhlmann and VisioTec. Their joint offering is specifically aligned towards companies in the pharmaceuticals, medical technology and process industries, and covers all of the phases of the value-added chain: from laboratory equipment through manufacture of clinical samples and medication production to machines for end packaging.
“Our aim is to take advantage of our joint offerings to significantly improve the productivity and efficiency of our customers’ production, development and packaging processes“, is how Siegfried Drost, CEO at Uhlmann and spokesperson of Excellence United, explains the alliance’s objectives at the Interpack exhibition in Düsseldorf. Collaboration in the Excellence United alliance commenced with the establishment of joint project teams in January 2011. The corporate objective of the alliance is to implement up to 25 percent of all projects in cooperation with other member companies over the medium term.
