What BRINOX does
BRINOX (legal name BRINOX inženiring d.o.o.) is a privately held Slovenian engineering and manufacturing firm founded in 1983 and headquartered in Medvode, Slovenia. The company designs, manufactures, and commissions custom process equipment and turnkey production systems for the pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, food, and chemical industries, with a workforce of approximately 750 employees including over 250 engineers spread across five locations in Slovenia, Switzerland (Zug), Germany (Offenburg), and the United States (Charlotte, NC). Core offerings span process systems for solid, semi-solid, and liquid pharmaceutical forms; microbiological and cell-line bioreactors up to 30,000 L; chromatography and filtration skids; Material Handling Systems (MHS) with OEB 1-5 powder containment; CIP/SIP cleaning systems including the in-house BWS parts/container washers and CIP skid product line; and clean media modules for purified water, WFI, clean steam, and pharmaceutical gases.
Underlying technology combines stainless-steel fabrication (robotic welding, ASME U-Stamp and PED 2014/68/EU pressure-vessel qualifications, EHEDG hygienic design, ATEX for explosive atmospheres) with PLC-based automation (Siemens) and SCADA (GE iFix, Siemens WinCC), implementing ISA S88.01 batch recipes, GAMP5 validation, and FDA 21CFR Part 11 compliance. The firm holds ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001, and ISO 27001 certifications and operates a direct enterprise field-sales model via regional offices and a Head of Global Sales, with no reseller or distributor channel layer.
BRINOX generates revenue primarily through one-time, custom-priced turnkey projects, supplemented by engineering and automation professional services and recurring after-sales service; pricing is quote-based per project. It counts seven of the TOP 10 global pharmaceutical corporations among its customers (Novartis, Pfizer, GSK, Roche, Johnson & Johnson, MSD, Merck, among others) plus biopharma clients (Zoetis, CSL Behring, Lonza) and food-and-beverage majors (Coca-Cola HBC, PepsiCo, Heineken, Lactalis). The company is privately held with four directors and no disclosed external funding.
