Company Journey
Pharmabros was founded in 2005 by a group of mechanical engineers with a shared vision to provide high-quality engineering solutions.
Initially focused on offering design, prototyping, and consulting services to local manufacturers, the company quickly built a strong reputation for precision and problem-solving.
During this early period, the firm established key relationships with clients in industries, laying the foundation for future growth.
Expanded Product Range
New Offerings: Expanded the product line to include blister packaging machines, tablet coating systems, and more advanced filling systems, catering to a broader range of pharmaceutical companies in South Africa and surrounding countries.
Technological Improvements: Integrated more automation into machines, helping to improve productivity and reduce errors in production. This made it easier for local manufacturers to scale up without increasing their labor costs.
Building Relationships: Strengthened relationships with local suppliers and began collaborating with international technology partners to improve machine capabilities and offer better value for money.
Gained Industry Recognition and Certification
Industry Certifications: Achieved key certifications, such as GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and ISO 9001, which helped build trust with local and regional pharmaceutical companies. These certifications ensured the machines met international quality and safety standards.
Product Quality: Focused heavily on improving product quality and customer service, which led to growing demand for our machinery in the Southern African region.
R&D Focus: Increased investment in research and development to ensure the company could offer machines that were not only effective but also affordable and adaptable to the needs of the African market.
Regional Expansion and New Manufacturing Facility
Focus on Local Manufacturing: Made a conscious decision to source more materials locally where possible, contributing to job creation and reducing costs for customers.
Adaptation to Local Needs: Developed machines specifically tailored to the challenges of African pharmaceutical manufacturing, such as lower energy consumption and robustness for varying environmental conditions.
New Facility
New Facility: Opened a larger, modern manufacturing facility in South Africa, designed to better meet the needs of local and regional clients. The new facility allowed for faster production and more customization options for African pharmaceutical companies.
Sustainable Manufacturing: Focused on creating machines that were energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, addressing growing concerns about sustainability in Africa’s manufacturing sector.
Strong Market Position: Positioned as a leading provider of affordable, reliable, and innovative pharmaceutical machinery for the African market, helping local manufacturers compete in a global market while meeting regulatory standards.
