CPHI Worldwide is a must-attend event for the whole pharma supply chain and, for many, the highlight of the calendar year. The divisions of IMA Group and its specialists will be delighted to introduce you to our latest and innovative technologies for processing and packaging not only for pharmaceutical, biomedical, and nutraceutical products but also in the personal care, homecare, and toiletry sectors.
On show:
IMA Life, the Aseptic Processing & Freeze-Drying Solutions division, will present the INJECTA 36, an advanced robotic fill-finish solution that raises the bar for high-speed processing of Ready-To-Use syringes. Recently awarded Best in Show at Interphex NY 2023, INJECTA 36 introduces an innovative solution for 100% in-process control and check-weighing. This is further proof of the key role played by IMA Life in the Ready-To-Use segment for automatic filling & closing machines, maximizing production performance.
In this CPHI edition, a dedicated Continuous Manufacturing corner powered by IMA Active will also be on display. Through advanced process control, this technology enhances the potency, effectiveness, and safety of pharmaceutical products. IMA Active’s belief in and knowledge of Continuous Manufacturing have grown stronger thanks to intensive R&D work carried out on two fronts.
