Automated manufacturing and test system provider Astech Projects has reported a major increase in bespoke and product automation sales
Inroads have also been made across global markets with pan European and US installations.
With demand forecast to continue, Astech have invested heavily in both their mechanical and software design groups, increasing the workforce by 20%.
Business development manager for drug delivery of Astech Projects, Anthony Moran, says: 'We are now entering an exciting phase in Astech's development.
"Having established ourselves in the manufacturing testing arena with our bespoke automated solutions, our product area is now rapidly growing.
"With the launch of Tablet-Pro, our system for automated tablet processing and our novel approach to the design and build of our inhaled product automation systems, we are fast becoming recognised as industry-leaders".
He continued "Our success has been built on providing our customers with a unique service tailored specifically to their individual needs.
"This strengthening of mechanical and software design teams will allow us to expand and continue to provide the service that we are renowned for".
Widely known for their innovative design and quality engineering, Astech says it has built up an enviable portfolio of major pharmaceutical clients and a reputation to match.
In addition to bespoke, one-off systems, Astech design and manufacture a range of modular products for high throughput analysis and experimentation.
These address the automation needs of the pharmaceutical industry throughout the whole drug development process - from discovery to final manufacturing QC.
Specialist and extensive knowledge coupled with impressive global-roll out capabilities have enabled Astech to provide solutions and bespoke systems where others have failed, it claims.
