Strong local partnerships: Combining local presence with global expertise

            

A relationship-driven market

Latin America’s pharmaceutical industry is shaped by generics manufacturers and an increasing number of CDMOs, with Brazil and Mexico representing the largest markets and offering significant growth potential. At the same time, the region is a very relationship-driven market, where trade shows such as FCE Pharma play a central role in maintaining partnerships and enabling direct exchange with pharmaceutical manufacturers.

Against this backdrop, Syntegon has strengthened its presence in the region in recent years, building on an existing customer base and expanding local activities. The focus lies on deepening partnerships and supporting manufacturers in optimizing and scaling their production, particularly in areas such as solid dosage processing, where market-proven products offer strong potential.

Three technologies, one focus: solutions for generics manufacturing

These market characteristics directly shape the requirements for pharmaceutical production technologies in the region. At FCE Pharma, Syntegon presents a portfolio that is aligned with these needs.

An integrated vial line supports the increasing demand for injectable drugs, the fastest-growing dosage form in Brazil. By combining core fill-finish steps into a single system – including optional integrated freeze drying – it enables efficient, compliant, and high-quality parenteral production – a key requirement for manufacturers expanding into or scaling up injectables.
In solid dosage processing, capsules remain highly relevant for market-proven products. The GKF Capsylon series represents an established solution for high-output capsule filling with consistent dosing accuracy. At the same time, it offers the flexibility to handle various product types and formats, supporting reliable production at scale.
GranuLean complements the portfolio as an efficient granulation solution. With its small footprint and focus on minimizing material loss, it is particularly suited to production environments where space, efficiency, and cost control are critical. The system answers the growing demand for scalable processing technologies in the region.

Together, these technologies cover both liquid and solid dosage production and support pharmaceutical manufacturers across multiple process steps with scalable and reliable solutions. This breadth is particularly relevant in Latin America, where manufacturers increasingly look for partners who can combine process expertise with integrated, adaptable technologies.

“Close collaboration is essential in Latin America’s pharmaceutical market. Our goal is to work alongside manufacturers as a long-term partner, helping them translate evolving market demands into efficient and reliable production processes.”

Supported by economic integration

This partnership approach is becoming even more relevant as the overall market environment in Latin America continues to evolve. Economic developments such as the Mercosur agreement are further strengthening regional integration and making the market increasingly attractive for pharmaceutical manufacturers. Syntegon’s expanded presence in the region offers closer proximity and thus a better understanding of regional requirements. With this, Syntegon closely collaborates with pharmaceutical partners in translating market growth into efficient and reliable production processes – combining local presence with global process expertise to address evolving requirements.
