Packaging equipment producer Marchesini Group will set up a new branch of Marchesini Group Rus in Moscow, Russia to bolster the company's presence in the country.
The branch's new facilities will be opened in January next year. These facilities will allow the company to cater to the increasing demand for its products in the country by providing prompt and customized assistance service.
Marchesini will develop few instruments in-house to evaluate the customers' needs and priorities for stand-alone machines and complete lines for packaging pharmaceuticals.
This will help the company to maintain long-term relationships with Russian partners.
Marchesini said in a statement: "This customer-oriented strategy will of course be put into practice by our loyal team in Russia, who works for the representation agency I.E.S. International, which has contributed over the last 30 years in giving the Marchesini brand a strong and reliable name in Russia.
"This team of experts, who have always worked in the pharmaceutical industry, will be directed by Sergey Ilyukhin, the new branch manager. In this way, there will be continuity with the past, but with the addition of young and modern focus on the future."
The company's existing and new customers will benefit from new opportunities provided by the new branch.
The new branch will be inaugurated at the Pharmtech trade show in Moscow which will be held from 24 November through 27 November.
Marchesini will also present its FSP 05, a machine for filling and stoppering disposable syringes, with integrated weight control system at the trade show.
With a processing capacity of around 12.000 pieces per hour, FSP 05 can be equipped with 2 to 5 filling/stoppering stations.
