Körber Medipak Systems has expanded its Latin American footprint with a new site in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The company says due to the 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 cater to meeting the increasing need for solutions for the pharmaceutical and biotech industry in Latin America, from Mexico to Argentina.

The company’s complete portfolio of solutions and services will be offered at the new site. In addition to 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.

“Personal contact with our customers has proven to be the key to success in every country in which I have worked so far,” said Borja Guerra, managing director, Körber Medipak América Latina. “With our office in Brazil, we are now able to give our customers even better support with a bigger team right on spot.”
