Dec Group named as Top 10 Pharma Solutions Provider

Ecublens, Switzerland: – World leading materials handling and process specialist Dec Group has been honoured as one of the pharmaceutical industry’s leading solutions providers.

Pharma Tech Outlook magazine has named Dec Group as one of its Top 10 Pharma Manufacturing Solutions Providers for 2023, its annual listing of the ten companies at the forefront of providing Pharma Manufacturing solutions and transforming businesses.

Technological excellence

“Dec Group shines as a symbol of comprehensive technological excellence in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Uplifting productivity, quality, and safety of clients’ operations, along with enabling semi and fully continuous manufacturing, it helps clients achieve profitability and competitive advantage in the ever- evolving pharma world,” the magazine commented in its Pharma Manufacturing Outlook special edition detailing the awards.

Its article featuring the work of Dec Group notes that the company’s offerings have become a repeated choice for customers because Dec’s comprehensive solutions save them from needing to approach multiple vendors for different technologies, reducing cost and lead times.

“This also benefits them from a compliance standpoint, as the company designs its solutions adhering to the regulatory requirements. If any client wants third-party equipment, it is able to provide that through its collaboration with leading equipment providers,” the magazine explains.

End-To-End Pharma Manufacturing Solutions

The article traces Dec’s evolution from the 1990a and the development of its patented PTS® powder transfer system as an innovative concept for the safe and complete conveying of powders and liquids under full containment and process efficiency during the transfer of bulk materials within pharmaceutical manufacturing.

“Leveraging over three decades of experience and industry-leading pharma manufacturing capabilities, Dec Group is ideally positioned to help clients achieve end-to-end drug production in their in-house facilities. The organization acts as a global player offering turnkey solutions and consultancy encompassing molecule handling to the final product packaging process, aiming to uplift productivity, quality, and worker safety,” it notes.

Transition to CM

Dec solutions are now delivered by five primary product divisions functioning as a single entity, including powder handling, milling technology that achieves even sub-micron particle sizes, aseptic filling technology that extends to advanced isolator technology for ultra-safe and efficient handling and repackaging of APIs or aseptic applications including cell and gene therapy. The more recent addition of a continuous manufacturing (CM) division connects the dots to ensure reduced production downtime and cost-effective manufacturing.

“We are not an equipment supplier. We provide solutions that enable modular and continuous manufacturing,” Dec Group Managing Director Frederic Dietrich told the magazine. He said Dec’s integrated solutions helps clients reduce facility footprint by 50 to 60 percent while facilitating flexibility in production volumes and saving costs.
