The group is expecting a 12% rise on its €206m revenue last year, and a rise in orders of 8%.

Group chief executive Maurizio Marchesini has announced a €3.5m investment to expand the current 6,000 m2 Corima factory to 10,000m2.

This will also create 50 more job opportunities in addition to the 100 staff members employed there currently.

Additionally, there are plans for a new €15m, 12,000m2 factory in Carpi where the production of blister packaging machines is concentrated.

The group recently promoted its products at two events in Italy – The Aseptic Live Show and the Track and Trace Seminar.

The Aseptic Live Show took place at the facilities of automatic aseptic pharmaceutical packaging machines manufacturer Corima Group, and, simultaneously, at the Track and Trace Seminar, an international convention focusing on the state of the art of drug traceability and serialisation solutions.

Marchesini showcased several lines and stand-alone machines featuring small containers, vials and syringes devised and designed for some major international customers.

Two popular lines were the ISO-technique line for potent freeze-dried and liquid oncological products, which packages up to 24 thousand pieces a minute and the vial line manufactured for a Canadian customer, made up of the WR24 washing machine, the Depyr601 depyrogenation tunnel and the Stery Capsy filler-capper.

The Track and Trace Seminar was also going ahead at the Headquarters in Pianoro, which featured eight workshops, held in three languages, hosting customers from across the globe, to discuss the presently enforced regulations on the topic of pharmaceutical traceability.

Marchesini was promoting its products’ safety credentials for customised solutions based on the regulations in force in various countries, based on the differing production needs of its customers.
