Sweet home, Chicago! From October 18 to 21, 2026, PACK EXPO is back in the windy city. And so are we – with seamless solutions for the growing North American pharmaceutical market. Visit us at booth W-26038 in the Healthcare Pavilion!

Key Takeaways
              Syntegon shows commitment to North American pharma market with dedicated pharma presence at PACK EXPO
Seamless vial production with harmonized lines and support from a single source reduce complexity and risk
Flexible OSD processes from lab to global scale support efficient scale-up and long-term success

            

North America is a dynamic pharmaceutical market – closely connected to and often driving global developments, yet shaped by distinct requirements. For the third year in a row, Syntegon is underlining its commitment to manufacturers in the region and their needs with a dedicated pharmaceutical presence in the Healthcare Packaging Pavilion at PACK EXPO International 2026.

Mastering Annex 1 with seamless solutions from a single source

For vial fill-finish operations, one perpetual need manufacturers experience is combining flexibility and speed with changing product requirements and compliance with strict regulations such as EU GMP Annex 1. Syntegon’s seamless approach offers ease of use, reliable performance, and comprehensive lifecycle services from a single source. Vial lines that connect all vital process steps and aligned interfaces between technologies reduce complexity and risk. Moreover, new technologies reduce human intervention in the aseptic area to a minimum – both on new lines and as retrofits for existing equipment. Comprehensive lifecycle services and support from one project partner further allow pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers as well as CDMOs to leverage the full potential of their production.

Seamless vial processes – your benefits at a glance
              All process steps from a single source – from formulation, filling and closing to isolator integration, freeze-drying, and inspection
Reduced complexity and full support throughout the equipment lifecycle with one single point of contact
New vial line technologies reduce human intervention and enhance compliance

            

OSD from lab to global scale – safe, fast, and simple

The seamless approach also extends to oral solid dosage (OSD) production. At PACK EXPO, Syntegon is showcasing the SolidLab 2 Plus fluid bed processor as part of a portfolio that spans from development to industrial-scale production. SolidLab 2 Plus bridges development and technical transfer by supporting easy Design of Experiments (DoE) and scale-up. It dries and granulates raw materials and coats granules and pellets all on one platform, resulting in less transfers as well as maximum flexibility and efficiency.

Across production scales – from R&D to large batch or continuous production – Syntegon supports pharmaceutical manufacturers with technologies that follow consistent process principles and expertise that guides them every step of the way from laboratory development to commercial production. This support can even begin before the actual equipment project, for example with joint development and validation of processes and formulations and continues beyond installation with comprehensive lifecycle services.
