Catch-up effect in the pharmaceutical industryIn the pharmaceuticals industry, the Covid-19 pandemic started to level off in 2022. “Systems for processing Covid vaccinations were in extremely high demand in 2020 and 2021. According to Dirk Schuster, Sales Manager Pharmaceuticals, the sector is currently catching up due to investments made by our customers in production facilities that were previously neglected due to the pandemic but increased again in 2022. “For us, this was reflected in increased demand for lines for processing blockbusters such as flu vaccines, medicines for diabetes, rheumatism and Alzheimer’s. In addition, the processing of small batch sizes has regained enormous importance.
