Sanofi-Aventis Investment Shows Increased Demand for Liquids in Hard Capsules

Leading Supplier

Bosch Packaging Technology managed to recognize this trend early on, evaluated the market accordingly and, with its GKF capsule filling machines, positioned itself as the leading supplier in this segment. Thanks to the new liquid filling pump, GKF machines are now able to fill a wide range of products. This includes products with a critical melting point range, high or low viscosity, and also product combinations. Sanofi-Aventis, based in France, is one of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies and has invested in five high-performance GKF capsule filling machines from Bosch over the past three years. The investment was made to support an increasing demand for the Essentiale liver preparation. In China, Sanofi-Aventis operates production sites in Beijing, Hangzhou and Shenzhen, with the Essentiale liver preparation being produced at its Beijing facility. As a result of its previous positive experiences, it has now decided to extend its use of the proven GKF series into the Chinese market.
