Dec underlines new brand presence in China at CIPM 2014

Ecublens, Switzerland: – Powder handling leader, Dec Group, will for the first time exhibit under its own name at next month’s China International Pharmaceutical Machinery Exposition (CIPM), which is one of the world’s biggest pharma industry trade events.

The establishment of Dec as a presence in its own right has been made possible by the recent establishment of Dec China in Shanghai’s New Pilot Free Trade Zone as a direct subsidiary company to support the Swiss-based group’s growing customer base in China.

Featuring PTS and MCOne

Dec’s name and logo will be on the group’s own exhibition stand (Booth N5-44) when CIPM opens in Chongqing on November 7. The DEC Group team at the show will exhibit new key technologies, including the PTS (Powder Transfer System) forsafe and contained conveying of powder and granules, as well as the MC Jetmill 300, a production scale model for effective particle size reduction below 20 micron.

“We’re expecting more than 75,000 people to attend CIPM, making this event a very big one indeed,” said Dec Group Marketing Head Gabriela Mikhaiel.

“We’re very excited about being able to exhibit to this huge market as a brand in our own right,” said Ms. Mikhaiel.

“We’ve attended CIPM several times before, but always represented by our Chinese distributor,” she added.

Powder handling expertise

“We will now be able to communicate directly on the quality of our engineering and our innovative technologies in powder transfer and high containment,” she added.

Dec’s appearance at CIPM will come barely a week after the group also exhibited under its own banner at China’s other leading pharma event, China Pharm in Shenzhen.

Later in November, Dec will also be represented at the one-day Containment Seminars in Beijing and Shanghai, on November 19 and 21, organized by Rieckerman Pharmatech Ltd.

Dec Group Administrateur Frédéric Dietrich will be a guest speaker at both seminars, talking about ‘New technologies for safe and contained powder handling in the bulk pharmaceuticals industry’.
