What metagram Solutions does

metagram Solutions GmbH is a private Life Sciences consulting firm founded in 2022 and headquartered in Stelle (Hamburg region), Germany, delivering Pharma 4.0 consulting and Production IT services to pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers. The firm specializes in end-to-end Manufacturing Execution System (MES) implementation across the three dominant platforms — Körber PAS|X, Emerson Syncade, and Siemens Opcenter — plus LIMS, SCADA, Historian, and SAP integrations, with Power BI used for live production data visualization (OTIF, RFT, yield, changeover times). Its service portfolio spans six phases: Strategic Advisory, Initiation, Planning, Execution, Go-Live & Hypercare, and Production Excellence, supplemented by dedicated MES Consulting, MES Recipe Design, MES System Expert, Validation (GAMP5), and Project Management services.

The business operates on a professional services model with custom, project-based pricing and multi-year contract cadence. Go-to-market is sales-led enterprise field sales with a free initial consultation as a lead magnet, targeting Big Pharma, biotech (including Cell & Gene therapy), CDMOs/CMOs, and small-to-mid pharma across Germany, the Netherlands, and the US. Revenue is concentrated in a small number of enterprise MES engagements; only one named client reference (an unnamed CDMO) is disclosed in the source data.

In September 2023, metagram merged with the former NDUSTRY Services B.V. (Meppel) to consolidate its cross-border Production IT practice, and in November 2024 it joined the Init Group alongside ProjectBinder, integrating the firm into a larger strategic parent. Leadership comprises Managing Partner Zinaid Dzinovic, partners Zaim Imeraj and Koen Koopman, and HR Manager Sahira Dzinovic. The company competes on 100% Life Sciences focus, claimed 20+ years of combined MES expertise, and proprietary project methodology and best-practice templates.
