Syntegon opens new OSD Customer Centre

Syntegon Technology has inaugurated its new OSD Customer Centre in Waiblingen, Germany. The building includes everything customers need for the formulation, development and production of their oral solid dosage (OSD) forms.

Dr Thomas Brinz, Head of the new OSD Customer Centre, said: “With this infrastructure and our team of experts, we offer our customers exactly the innovative power they expect from a reliable and future-oriented partner.”

Syntegon’s clients can meet with experts to discuss processes and attend seminars. Syntegon has increased the cleanroom capacity at its site in Waiblingen sixfold. From laboratory equipment to production-scale machines, TPR tablet presses for mono and bilayer tablets as well as GKF capsule filling machines are available for all formats and products in different cleanroom classes – up to the highest containment level OEB5.

Bridging the gap

The new OSD Customer Centre offers pharmaceutical developers and manufacturers an ideal location to test future formulations or existing products on real machines.

Brinz added: “From the development of active ingredients or formulations to process optimization or machine operator training – we bridge the gap between all these disciplines. We also offer them the process analysis of active ingredients and formulations, as well as the diagnosis of existing processes. Especially for powders, we can now offer more comprehensive services.”

The OSD Customer Center in Waiblingen complements the range of specialized laboratories and customer centers at Syntegon. Waiblingen is the third facility for solid oral dosage forms next to Schopfheim in Germany and Hangzhou in China. In addition, five partner laboratories provide optimum advice to pharmaceutical developers and manufacturers around the world. “The OSD Customer Center in Waiblingen is the logical next step towards even stronger customer orientation and flexible services,” Brinz concluded.
