Stronger together

As part of its growth strategy, Syntegon focuses on seamless processes, innovative technologies, and sustainable solutions. The acquisition of Telstar represents a significant step in this direction. Together, Syntegon and Telstar now offer comprehensive solutions from a single source. Whether antibiotics, vaccines, or biologics, customers benefit from greater efficiency, traceability, stability, and quality throughout their entire production and supply chain when manufacturing and filling their medications. In addition, Syntegon’s commitment to sustainable processes is complemented by Telstar’s energy-efficient freeze-drying processes using alternative refrigerants.

“Everyone should have access to vital vaccinations. Through my work, I help provide vaccines to combat diseases and save lives in developing countries,” says Mohamed Salama, electrical engineer at Syntegon in Crailsheim, Germany. He thereby refers to SDG3, which aims to ensure good health and well-being. His colleague Lena Schlosser takes a similar view: “As an automation engineer, I support customers in producing innovative pharmaceuticals to combat diabetes type 2 and obesity. By programming and commissioning the machines to the needs of our customers, we jointly contribute to improving the health of many people and preventing heart disease and dementia.”

SDG12, in turn, aims at responsible consumption and production. “Our innovative waste management system encourages responsible recycling practices. This way we offer our customers a seamless and ecofriendly solution for their equipment’s end of life,” explains Laura Bravo, quality assurance technician at Telstar. At the same time, her colleague Sergi Perez and his team are working to reduce plastic waste: “By transitioning from single-use bags to reusable containers for inbound and outbound deliveries, we ensure that our clients receive ready-to-use products while minimizing environmental impact.” In Crailsheim, colleagues are also working tirelessly on new, sustainable technologies. “As a product manager, I support customers in manufacturing blood plasma efficiently,” says Sarah Springer. “One focus here is on minimizing the loss of plasma and the waste of packaging materials.”
