GERTEIS® to show advanced roller compaction in action at COPHEX 2026

Jona, Switzerland – Dry granulation specialist GERTEIS® will emphasize the importance of its advanced roller compaction technologies for South Korea’s dynamic pharma manufacturing industry when it returns to the huge COPHEX pharma expo near Seoul.

This will be the fourth time since 2023 that GERTEIS has exhibited at COPHEX, once again under the banner of its local partner Hakoplan from Booth 5A401 in Hall 5 of the KINTEX Center in Goyang City.

POLYGRAN® on demonstration

The stand displays will emphasis the benefits and applications of the renowned GERTEIS roller compaction technology in dry granulation powder compaction processes, with a working example of the sophisticated production-oriented POLYGRAN® roller compactor in continuous demonstration mode as the centerpiece of the stand.

Supporting displays will feature other machines from the GERTEIS roller compaction range, such as MINI-PACTOR®, MACRO-PACTOR®, MINI-POLYGRAN®, AND ULTRA PACTOR®.

Designed for laboratory, pilot and full production environments, these machines set industry  standards for robust and scalable dry granulation and are used worldwide for continuous manufacturing, high-potency APIs and difficult-to-compact formulations. They include containment solutions to deal with a broad range of powders — including highly potent and notoriously difficult materials — while maintaining consistent product quality and process reliability.
