Success Story Novo Nordisk

The Danish Pharmaceutical Group Novo Nordisk has chosen Bürkert, the fluid control specialists, to equip its latest production line for the formulation of insulin vials at its site in Chartres (France). A technical solution supported by Bürkert allows the pharmaceutical leader to simplify their processes and increase productivity.

For the project, the group consulted with several pharmaceutical equipment manufacturers before opting for Bürkert. “It is the only company among the suppliers we met, to have arrived with a team of specialists for each technology sought”, recalls Olivier Gilles. He adds: “They came armed with full demonstration equipment and also invited us to see their technology in use at one of their client’s installations”. The result led Novo Nordisk to join forces with Bürkert to supply their ON/OFF piston valves and ELEMENT diaphragm valve range.

All bio pharmaceutical production under control

Like many sectors, the pharmaceutical industry is also undergoing digital change. Medicines have to be manufactured in ever faster time-to-market cycles, and pharmaceutical plants have to work more efficiently, more sustainably and more intelligently. Without jeopardising the highly sensitive process reliability.

The smarter, the more efficient – Bürkert solutions for the Biotech industry 4.0

Single-use processes offer many advantages, especially in biotechnology, such as savings in cleaning biotechnical systems and improved process efficiency and the associated significantly reduced production times. Bürkert therefore supplies single-use solutions for more efficient and better production of biopharmaceutical drugs as well as digital interfaces for the Biotech industry 4.0.
