One partner. One seamless vial line.
In vial fill-finish operations, three challenges stand out in particular: combining flexibility and speed, adapting to changing product characteristics, and complying with ever-stricter regulatory requirements such as EU GMP Annex 1. Syntegon addresses these demands with seamless line solutions that connect the individual process steps – from formulation, filling and closing to isolator integration, freeze-drying and inspection. Harmonised interfaces between the technologies simplify integration and help reduce complexity and project risks.
“At CPHI, we will show our customers why seamless vial processing is far more than connecting machines. It also means having one single partner for the entire line – from project execution through to lifecycle services,” says Sarah Springer, Global Product Manager Vial, Ampoules, and Filling Systems at Syntegon.
The seamless approach extends beyond the equipment itself. With a single point of contact for the complete line, pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers as well as CDMOs benefit from coordinated project management, combined testing and integrated lifecycle services. Throughout operation, local service and expert help maintain performance and adapt the line as requirements evolve. The result is an integrated approach that supports efficient implementation as well as flexible, reliable vial production over the entire equipment lifecycle.

Flexibility is just as important in oral solid dosage (OSD) production and starts with choosing the right technology for each process. Different formulations, batch sizes and production requirements call for different equipment – from development on SolidLab 1 and SolidLab 2 Plus to continuous manufacturing with Xelum. With the new HMI, which is showcased for the first time at CPHI, Syntegon provides a common operating environment across these technologies. Familiar navigation, workflows and tools make it easier to move between applications, reduce training effort and help manufacturers expand their equipment portfolio without having to introduce completely new operating concepts.
“Our common operating philosophy helps manufacturers switch between technologies, scale processes and add equipment without adding unnecessary complexity,” says Christian Paasche, Product Owner Lab Equipment & CM Platform at Syntegon.
The shared HMI also supports greater continuity from development to larger production scales. Aligned controls simplify the integration of additional equipment and digital services, while improved data collection and analysis provide greater transparency across processes. Manufacturers can identify optimisation potential more easily, support resource-efficient development and make better use of production data. This way, the new HMI complements Syntegon’s flexible OSD portfolio with a common operating philosophy that supports flexibility, scalability and efficiency in day-to-day operations.
