Bilcare Ltd, headquartered in India, has opened the Bilcare Centre of Excellence, with dedicated R&D sections for packaging research, material research, analytical research, drug sensitivity studies and package design. The centre is also equipped with Asia's first integrated Flexo Printing machine and a state-of-the art pilot plant.

The facility was inaugurated in Pune on December 16, 2007 by former president of India, Dr APJ Abdul Kalam and Dr John L. Lamattina, senior vice president, Pfizer Inc and president, Pfizer Global Research & Development.

Bilcare Research has developed a product, jointly launched by Dr APJ Abdul Kalam and Dr John L. LaMattina, that will help the pharmaceutical industry in securing their brands against counterfeits, increasing product warranty, traceability and security in the supply chain.

Mohan Bhandari, chairman and MD of Bilcare Limited, said "Bilcare is emerging fast as a knowledge company with unique research capabilities to address critical challenges of the pharmaceutical Industry. With this product and the R&D center launch, we are now in a position to offer complete solution to our global customers on counterfeit and compliance and ensure better healthcare for tomorrow."

"Out of major investments in nanotechnology research & development happening today, this is one of the first cost effective and useful solution for the common man offered by Bilcare. The technology uses combination of new material with unique properties and proprietary pattern recognition in a cost effective way to massmanufacture identification tags. These nano-tags are virtually impossible to duplicate with inbuilt fingerprint technology, which can be read by specially developed readers. This data is then sent through a normal GPRS cell phone to the central server for instant secured authentication, which in turn identifies pedigree of each product. This research programme has secured different patents and soon to start commercial manufacturing in Singapore.
