POWTECH TECHNOPHARM promotes pharmaceutical excellence
POWTECH TECHNOPHARM delivers everything for processes in industries as diverse as chemicals, food, batteries, and recycling. Visitors benefit from a mix of technologies for processing, conveying, and analysing solid and liquid products. The new addition TECHNOPHARM makes it clear that the trade fair organisers are going the extra mile for visitors from the pharmaceutical industry.
Cough syrups, painkillers, antipyretics - everyone is happy when the pharmacist round the corner has them in stock. Seriously ill patients and children in particular suffer from shortages. In Europe, the aim is therefore to improve security of supply. One way of achieving this is by setting up additional production sites. A productive pharmaceutical industry can also boost the economic future of many European countries and create attractive jobs.
A lot is in motion. The industry is investing. In Germany, for example, around 20,000 euros per employee are invested annually in plant and machinery for new and existing factories. Pharmaceutical producers are demanding. Only the best technology is good enough. Innovative equipment, sensors, analytic equipment and automation technology ensure excellence in production and thus competitiveness. POWTECH has long been one of the know-how platforms where technology experts from the pharmaceutical and life sciences industries and their plant manufacturers can talk shop and gain inspiration. The list of visitors to POWTECH 2023 includes both global players and smaller, specialised pharmaceutical manufacturers.
TECHNOPHARM part for European pharmaceutical production
The trade fair is now recognising this with the double name POWTECH TECHNOPHARM. And it makes it clear that technology for the GxP-compliant production of pharmaceuticals and other life science products is also part of the exhibitors' offering. This is becoming increasingly important, especially in the centre of Europe.
GxP-compliant technology, as required by pharmaceutical manufacturers, will not only be found at the Process Operations trade fair from 2025.Cross-industry exchange promotes innovation
The planned concept of distributing the exhibition stands of suppliers with a pharmaceutical target group across the exhibition halls at POWTECH TECHNOPHARM 2025 is generally well received. This is no different to the programme for the food industry, the chemical industry, plastics and ceramics producers or representatives from the construction, rocks and minerals sector. The fact that different sectors of the process industry can exchange ideas and learn from each other in Nuremberg is one of the big plus points. From 2025, visitors will also be guided by a digital exhibition guide. "In future discussions, however, we will repeatedly question whether this also makes sense for highly specialised pharmaceutical equipment, such as cleanroom technology, or whether it would be better to concentrate it in a specific area."
Ronny Sonnenschein, Exhibition Manager POWTECH TECHNOPHARM: "Many exhibitors are targeting the pharmaceutical industry: from conveyor belt manufacturers who realise hygienic transport, to suppliers of mixers for 'sensitive' products, to broad-based sealing technology partners."From solid to liquid, from product feed to filling
It is the breadth of processes used that characterises all the industries from which visitors to the Process Operations exhibition come. It is of secondary importance whether the end product is solid, liquid or a mixture of the two. The technologies range from raw material preparation and dosing to the actual manufacturing process with reactors, mixers and dryers, transport and storage through to filling and packaging. Process control and digitalisation, supported by measurement technology, guarantee efficient processes.
Mastering the transformation with digitalisation and AI: The latest technologies have just as much a place at POWTECH TECHNOPHARM as process engineering.
