Romaco Pharmatechnik GmbH

What Romaco Pharmatechnik GmbH does

Romaco Pharmatechnik GmbH is a German pharmaceutical packaging and processing machinery manufacturer headquartered in Karlsruhe, Baden-Württemberg, operating as a subsidiary of the diversified Chinese conglomerate Truking and trading under the Romaco Group umbrella. The company delivers an integrated portfolio of capital equipment and laboratory services spanning granulation and drying, tableting, sugar and film coating, blister and heat-sealing packaging, sterile and non-sterile filling, and cartoner/end-of-line packaging. Its flagship differentiation is the Push-strip/Push Pack technology produced on Siebler HM 1 heat-sealing machines, which combine the barrier performance of strip packaging with the push-through convenience of blisters and run at 800 to 7,000 tablets per minute. Five specialised application laboratories — InnoTech (granulation), KiTech (tableting), CoTech (coating), PacTech (packaging) and FillTech (filling) — provide process development, scale-up and validation services that support both sales conversion and installed-base optimisation.

The company sells to global pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, functional food and veterinary manufacturers through a direct enterprise field-sales motion, supplemented by regional contact centres and demonstration facilities in China, India and the USA. Revenue is generated primarily from hardware sales of high-throughput packaging and processing lines and from laboratory/professional services tied to application testing and process optimisation; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Marketing reach is delivered through a digital ecosystem comprising a Product Finder, virtual showroom, blog, newsletter and Customer Portal, alongside trade-show participation and laboratory engagement. Romaco's customer-facing value proposition rests on material cost savings of up to 60% versus PVC and Al/Al blisters, PVC-free foil composition, child-resistant yet senior-friendly unit-dose formats, and customisable die-cut strip designs enabled by proprietary Siebler die-cutting technology.

Products and services

• Siebler HM 1 Series Heat-Sealing Machine Heat-sealing machine from Romaco Siebler that packs 800 to 7,000 tablets per minute, supporting aluminum foil thicknesses from 9µm to 25µm. Used by pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and veterinary manufacturers for push-strip packaging that combines barrier properties of strip packaging with the opening mechanism of blisters.
• Push Packs / Push Strips Packaging Format Innovative strip packaging format where tablets are simply pressed out of the strip. Push Pack foil is thinner and lighter than blister foil, PVC-free, and provides air-, light-, and moisture-tight unit dose packaging with cost savings up to 60% versus PVC and Al/Al blisters. Supports custom die-cut designs and larger foil print area for branding.
• Granulation, Drying & Pellet Coating Solutions Complete granulation, drying and pellet coating solutions for pharmaceutical manufacturers, including hot melt granulation, temperature-sensitive granulation, Algea technology, and the CFE Cross-Flow Heat Exchanger heat recovery system.
• Tableting Solutions Tablet press solutions addressing weight variations, black-spotted tablets, temperature-sensitive products, capping/lamination issues, and high productivity through segment technology for pharmaceutical tablet manufacturers.
• Coating Solutions (Romaco Tecpharm) Next-generation sugar coating and film coating solutions using Romaco Tecpharm technology for pharmaceutical manufacturers, including energy recovery systems, moisture-sensitive formulation handling, batch size flexibility, and direct scalable coating for soft gelatine capsules.
