Körber Medipak Systems América Latina. Global expertise at your side.
Sao Paulo, 15 May 2015. Körber Medipak Systems has opened a new location in Sao Paulo.
Due to growing populations in Latin America, with current figures at over 600 million people, the
pharmaceutical industry is recording strong growth in the region, particularly in Brazil. The
services of the new location are meeting the increasing need for solutions for the pharmaceutical
and biotech industry in Latin America, from Mexico to Argentina.
As a market leader in pharmaceutical solutions, Körber Medipak Systems, with its strong
customer base and over 100 installations, is highly committed to this region and has an excellent
reputation. The investment in a new location for Latin America is the logical consequence of this.
Located in Sao Paulo a well-trained and highly motivated team serves customers in Latin
America. Customer can expect the complete portfolio of solutions and services to be offered.
Besides the two managing directors, there are IT consultants from Werum IT Solutions, as well
as sales and project managers for the inspection and packaging technology business, all of
whom are based directly in situ. Specially trained service technicians for the installation and
maintenance of the lines complete the team, which is set to grow further over the coming weeks
and months.
Until now the regional and multinational customers of the Medipak Systems companies have
been supported from bases in other countries. Now they can benefit from the advantages of
having local experts with an international network. Borja Guerra, Managing Director of Körber
Medipak América Latina: “Personal contact with our customer has proven to be the key to
success in every country in which I have worked so far. With our office in Brazil, we are now able
to give our customers even better support with a bigger team right on spot.”
Körber Medipak Systems América Latina is being expanded continuously. In future, it will employ
more than 20 people. There are also plans for the production and warehousing of spare and
format parts. Customers will profit from direct support by local experts and shorter reaction times.
