ProMach (Booth C-3220) continues to expand the number of brands collaborating under the banner of ProMach Pharma Solutions. All four members of the ProMach Pharma Solutions team—NJM (Booth C-3514), Pharmaworks (Booth C-3414), Serpa (Booth C-3418) and WLS (Booth C-3518)—are exhibiting together in the Central Hall adjacent to the other ProMach brands and businesses, as well as exhibiting together in the South Lower Hall (Booth SL-6501).
The four brands represent nearly 200 years of combined expertise in pharmaceutical packaging with applications across the globe. “Our Pharma business line offers an incredibly wide portfolio of world-class solutions,” says Tom McDaniel, president of ProMach Pharma Solutions. “From standalone systems to fully integrated, turnkey lines, ProMach is positioned to give customers everything they need.”
ProMach Pharma Solutions offers a wide range of equipment for a variety of package formats, including bottles, vials, syringes, blister packs and autoinjectors. Specifically, it supplies high-performance aseptic fill/finish, bottle unscrambling, tablet counting, filling, capping, blister packing, labeling, coding/serialization, label printing, conveying, cottoning and sealing systems, as well as complete pharmaceutical packaging lines for customers of all sizes and geographies.
“ProMach has created a great balance between integrating their brands and cultivating their individual identities,” notes Adam Rosenthal, director of Pharma Marketing, who joined the organization early in 2021. “
The brands work together while still maintaining their unique personalities,” he explains. Several machines are debuting this year, including the TF1 blister machine from Pharmaworks. Designed for low-volume production, this affordable, entry-level machine requires minimal training and is easy to operate. Delivering the same features as more complex machines, the TF1 unit offers straightforward cleanability, quick changeover and minimal maintenance requirements.
As radio frequency identification (RFID) assumes a larger role in meeting serialization requirements, WLS has adapted its highspeed, pressure-sensitive label applicators and label printers to incorporate the latest RFID technology. Options include: RFID-ready labelers, which apply pressure-sensitive labels embedded with RFID inlays; RFID-enabled label-application systems, where dual label heads marry label and RFID tag just prior to application; and RFIDready print stands, which print on pressure-sensitive labels embedded with RFID inlays.

Pharmaworks became part of ProMach in 2020, and manufactures blister packaging systems for the pharmaceutical, consumer goods and contract-packaging industries as well as feeders, cartoners and systems for online and bulk product vision inspection.
