Healthcare & pharmaceutical industry

The healthcare and pharmaceutical industry is a central pillar of modern societies. It encompasses the development, production, and distribution of medicines, medical equipment, and services related to prevention, diagnostics, therapy, and care. At the same time, the industry is subject to the highest regulatory requirements – with clear standards for safety, hygiene, traceability, and documentation.

Manufacturers and suppliers in this sector rely on reliable partners who can guarantee both technological excellence and regulatory compliance. Whether it's serial production of medical devices, complex pharmaceutical processes, or customized laboratory equipment – the requirements are diverse, dynamic, and demanding.

Typical sub-areas:

Pharmaceutical industry & pharmacy trade: Development and production of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, nutritional supplements, etc.
Medical technology & diagnostics: Devices, instruments, consumables, imaging systems

Documentation requirements and traceability throughout the entire supply chain
Pressure to innovate in diagnostics, therapy, and personalized medicine
Security of supply – especially during global crises or supply bottlenecks
Integration of digital solutions (e.g., e-health, smart medical technology)
Potential for digital procurement:

Targeted matching with certified and audited manufacturing partners
Automated review of compliance documents and standards
Flexibility for small series, test batches, and market launches
Co-development with Specialized technology and software partners
Rapid scalability for international markets and emergency situations
