Strong partners under one roof

From now on, the Körber Business Area Pharma brings together the internationally leading pharmaceutical and biotech companies Dividella, Fargo Automation, Mediseal, Rondo, Seidenader, Systec & Services, Traxeed, and Werum IT Solutions under a strong brand: Körber.

1. Packaging and transport

Medications are extremely sensitive products, and their packaging must effectively protect its delicate contents. This requires solutions that are both functional and cost-effective. 

For this purpose, Körber has Dividella and Rondo Solutions, which offer efficient and fully automated solutions for secondary pharmaceutical packaging. The range of products of the Körber Business Area Pharma also encompasses cartoning and blister machines as well as complete solutions for the integration of entire packaging lines so that pharmaceutical products can be securely transported. 

The flexible systems can be easily adapted to meet customers’ extremely varied requirements regarding sizes, impact resistance, and the processing and tracking of products.

2. Inspection

The production process of medical products requires close supervision. Körber offers secure solutions for such supervision, whether the products in question are vials, ampoules, cartridges, syringes or bottles filled with emulsions, oleaginous or viscous products, lyophilizates or powders. 

In addition, our Seidenader Solutions include equipment for sorting tablets, oblongs, and capsules. We also offer semi-automatic and fully automatic inspection systems that include state-of-the-art image processing solutions. Supplementary processes such as high-voltage and laser technology are used for procedures such as testing the impermeability of containers.

3. Consulting and software

We at Körber do everything in our power so that our customers can be successful on the pharmaceuticals market. We offer independent and individual consulting to support customers who are looking for serialization solutions or would like to implement MES (Manufacturing Execution System) projects. 

With regard to software, we offer our Werum Solutions — functional start-to-finish MES solutions for the entire production process. As a result, smooth operation is ensured and the employees’ work is made easier. Thanks to the Werum PAS-X, Körber is a global market leader in the area of MES systems.

4. Tracking

It’s crucial that medication be manufactured efficiently and securely. However, at least as important is the ability to continuously track pharmaceutical products from the production process through transportation to a pharmacy and from there to the patient. This makes it possible to reliably protect these products from counterfeiting, and that in turn benefits the patient most of all. For this purpose, we at Körber also offer customized Track & Trace solutions and support our customers in the serialization of their medications or other products.

We also highlight personalities who drive Körber forward every day with their entrepreneurial spirit and new ideas - always to the benefit of our customers.
