Pharmaceutical products – and in particular biotech products – are getting more and more expensive. With prices of US$1,000 to 2,000 per disposable syringe, it is imperative to utilize even the smallest amount of the drug. Inova has now declared war on the “hidden product reserves” of the filling process. The introduction of the first line with new in-process control with special start-up and clear-out modes paid for itself in only three weeks.

KUGLER and S.F. VISION
Setting the course toward cosmetics
The course is set. As of January 1, 2007, all activities of the cosmetics segment will be bundled in the future Kugler GmbH. As a result, you will benefit from even more interesting synergies. With Rainer Feuchter (Managing Partner of SF Vision), Hans Bühler (Managing Partner of the Optima Group) and Ludwig Fischer as Technical Director, the executive team consists of familiar faces. Both, Kugler and SF Vision have been successful suppliers to the cosmetic industry for many years. With this decision, a solid foundation has been laid for further growth in the cosmetic industry. Kugler‘s pharmaceutical segment has already been transferred within the Optima Group Pharma to Inova pharma systems GmbH in 2006, where it is an excellent complement to the portfolio while remaining an independent brand.

Improved cost and purchase perspective
Life Cycle Costing (LCC)The German Engineering Federation VDMA is currently working out a new cost calculation model, which for the first time offers the possibility of a comprehensive cost approach over the life cycle of capital goods. This model is supposed to serve as a tool for various industries, in order to make expenses, such as those associated with packaging machines outside of the purchase costs, predictable and ascertainable. This will also help to find the answer to the often-debated question of whether machines that are expensive in purchase price aren’t cheaper in the long run?

Q-bag machine for new packaging innovation
SoftCan potential
The SoftCan from Optima is a new packaging innovation offering consumers and users the combined benefits of several packaging worlds, without their respective limitations. Composite film is used to make a stable package with a new, unique character. Its shape and haptics are reminiscent of a can, but the surface has a whole new feel to it. The upshot: The production of the package as well as the filling takes place on one compact in-line machine. SoftCan is based on Huhtamaki Ronsberg’s patent pending Cyclero concept.
