Key Technology and Proditec agree global distribution agreement
Key Technology is to allow Proditec to sell products from its pharmaceutical group Symetix
Key Technology has agreed to allow Proditec to sell and distribute products from its pharmaceutical group Symetix. Under the terms of the agreement, Proditec will sell Symetix products for softgel inspection and processing in Europe, Asia, and South America.
At the same time, Proditec and Symetix will work together to promote and sell inspection solutions in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical markets in North America.
Symetix offers high-speed, broad-belt inspection systems that sort up to 1,000,000 softgels or tablets per hour, removing 100% of foreigners, while also removing defects based on object colour, size, and shape. These inspection systems can be integrated with Symetix’s Impulse Size Grader and PulseScrubber continuous polisher, as well as bulk packaging equipment to comprise a continuous finishing line.
Proditec, based in Pessac (Bordeaux), France, provides high-performance optical inspection systems that achieve full inspection of tablets and two-piece capsules. In addition to verifying product colour, size, shape, print, engraving, and multi layers to detect and remove defects, Proditec offers systems that use near-infrared technology to validate active ingredients of tablets at production speed.
‘The strengths of Symetix and Proditec are complementary on many levels. From our product lines and end-user markets to geographic coverage, this is a perfect fit,’ said Jon Donovan, Product Manager for Symetix.
