The new strategic realignment will enable Romaco to dramatically shorten delivery times for format part production. After the trade fair, the N 950E will be ready for use as a test machine at the Romaco India Experience Centre.

Pharmaceutical machinery manufacturer Romaco is bolstering its presence in India and ensuring close proximity to customers by localising format part production for its Noack 900 blister packaging machine series.

Users will benefit from shorter delivery times of these locally produced format parts, which will satisfy the same quality criteria as their European counterparts. Furthermore, the resulting reduction in transport mileage will have a positive impact on the carbon footprint of these machine components, which aligns perfectly with Romaco’s sustainability strategy.

Since it was founded in 2019, the Sales & Service Centre Romaco India in Mumbai has enjoyed continuous growth. The official opening of the Romaco India Experience Centre in Hyderabad was a key highlight last year. This state-of-the-art customer and training centre also houses a processing laboratory, which pools Romaco’s expertise in granulating, tableting and coating pharmaceutical solids.

The localisation of format part production heralds another significant milestone in the expansion of Romaco’s position on the Indian market. This move will also boost sales of new machines – an area in which proximity to customers is all-important.

Following the presentation of the Noack N 950E at CPHI & PMEC India, the blister packaging machine will be made available to users and prospects at the Experience Centre in Hyderabad. Here, the machine can be used for running in and testing new formats, as well as for foil tests and operator training sessions. It will also be possible to adjust existing formats locally in future.

Assembly of the N 950E also took place in Asia – at the Romaco plant in China. By expanding Romaco’s production site in Changsha and localising format part production in India, Romaco will meet the requirements of its local customers and demonstrate its strong commitment to the Asian markets.
