Allschwil, Switzerland: – Advanced ingredient and excipient specialist Pharmatrans SANAQ (Pharmatrans) will again attend Europe’s leading pharma industry event, CPHI Worldwide 2025, returning this year to Frankfurt-am-Main.

The Pharmatrans-SANAQ team – including Sales & Marketing Manager Fredy Hettlinger and Technical Marketing Manager Marco Resciniti – will be active across all three show days (October 28–30) at the Frankfurt Messe, meeting potential suppliers and customers.

Advanced technologies

During the event, the Pharmatrans team will highlight the benefits for pharmaceutical manufacturers of the company’s broad product portfolio, which includes ready-made excipient blends suitable for oral solid dosage forms and advanced pellet cores.

They will also present details of the recent Pharmatrans patent application for a new technology that combines advanced microencapsulation with the unique properties of CELLETS® microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) pellets, enabling oral solid dosage (OSD) formulations with sustained antibody release in the lower gastrointestinal tract.

Connecting with customers

The Pharmatrans team will also emphasize how use of SANAQ high functionality co-processed excipients such as SANAQ® SL 004, a next-generation direct compression excipient featuring a co-processed combination of lactose monohydrate and maize starch, can assist customers in achieving ideal formulations – even when working with challenging APIs – and enhance tableting performance, particularly in continuous manufacturing (CM) processes.

Fredy Hettlinger commented: “We have attended every CPHI Worldwide show over more than a decade now. This fantastic event provides us with ideal opportunities to connect with our customers and potential users across the industry and around the world, both by visiting their stands and by participating in the many networking platforms that CPHI offers.”
