Marchesini Group Presence in India is Getting Stronger
In view of the increasing interest on India strategic market
shown by Italian industry in recent years, a seminar about
“Technological Advancements on Sterile Packaging
Machinery” was held in Mumbai, on Thursday the 8th of
February 2007. The event was organized by the Marchesini
Group S.P.A., the Italian world leader in the design and
manufacturing of packaging equipment, which is looking
forward to increase its presence in the fast growing Pharma
industry of India.
The Company was established in 1974 and it is today a
group of about 1,200 employees and a total turn-over of
150 million Euro in 2006. The production is entirely
designed and carried out among the 14 manufacturing
division based in Italy. The sales and after-sales activities
of the group are performed by a network of 9 branch offices
and agencies spread all around the world.
Being 85% of production dedicated to the Pharma sector,
the list of Marchesini customers is really long and includes
multinational companies like GSK, Novartis, Aventis, Pfizer
and many other big and mediumsize
global players in that
industry.
Although Marchesini Group
presence is traditionally based in
Europe and North America, in the
recent years a very strong sales effort has been performed
by the company in order to promote its production towards
other strategic areas such as the Latin America, Far East,
India and China. Particularly concerning the Indian
market, Marchesini is fully aware of the big importance to
be present with a well established organization and the
spirit of this seminar goes into the same direction. As stated
in the title, the programme of the seminar focused
particularly on the latest equipment for the aseptic
applications developed by the group and in particular:
* Filling machines for ampoules, vials and cartridges
* Equipment for disposable pre-filled syringes
* Complete packaging lines.
