Samix Gmbh

What Samix Gmbh does

SAMIX GmbH is a German specialty manufacturer of stainless-steel mixing and stirring systems (Rühr- und Mischsysteme) for semi-solid preparations, headquartered and produced at a single facility in Zella-Mehlis, Thuringia. Its portfolio centers on bench-top mixing machines (Constantia, ES500, U1000) paired with proprietary dual-function Kruken containers that serve as both mixing vessels and dispensing containers, enabling evaporation- and contamination-free preparation. Supporting accessories include patented EWR single-use mixers (Einwegrührer) with grinding effect, TiN-coated SFR standard wing stirrers, extraction and dispensing aids, and dosage systems. The company serves pharmaceutical compounding (its primary vertical), cosmetics, laboratory/research, and food industry customers, with emphasis on GMP compliance, ISO 9001:2015 certification, and microbiological batch analysis of primary packaging. Approximately 30 employees operate in-house injection molding and fully automated assembly, supplemented by an on-site photovoltaic installation commissioned in 2022.

The business is a B2B hardware-and-consumables model: capital equipment sales are paired with recurring consumables (EWR single-use stirrers, SFR reusable tools, replacement Kruken) that anchor long-tail pharmacy customers. Pricing is quote-based and gated behind an approved business-customer account, with sales executed through the company's own e-commerce storefront (shop.samix.com), dedicated sales/purchasing/service telephone lines, and event-driven channels such as the Deutscher Apotheker Verlag's Rezeptursommer. Since 2019, SAMIX has operated as part of the Medisca Unternehmensgruppe, gaining international distribution reach and serving as the German distributor for Medisca's ORA compounding base solutions and troche/lollipop molds. The 2024-launched SAMIX® eLINE sub-brand extends the portfolio into biologically compostable, TiO2-free consumables and energy-efficient electronics, positioning the company in the ESG-oriented pharmacy equipment segment.
