As a company with roots in the immediate area it's even better that this partnership has become a reality. The long-term relationship with our customers and business partners is a key element of our success. That also needs a strong team.

Profile of Alexanderwerk AG:
Alexanderwerk AG is the leading manufacturer of high-technology compaction and granulation machines. As an internationally active company with headquarters in Remscheid, Alexanderwerk has provided high-quality and technically advanced machines and solutions for the chemical, pharmaceutical, food and life science industries for over 130 years.
The first step from the exclusive production machines for the food industry through to the chemical and pharmaceutical industry came in 1953 and 1954 when Alexanderwerk developed moist granulation machines for industrial use and supplied the first machines to the Bayer Works in Leverkusen. More efficient machines were developed shortly after that and also delivered to the Bayer Works for the production of acetylsalicylic acid (Aspirin®)
From major corporations through to special providers or compaction companies: The solutions from Alexanderwerk are suitable for the production of tablets, capsules, life science products, flavourings, instant powders, sweeteners and much more.

Following the final match of the 2025/26 season, the prevailing feeling was naturally one of disappointment after missing out on qualification for the Champions League. The Werkself finished the Bundesliga in sixth place, meaning they'll start the 2026/27 campaign in the Europa League. "But to talk negatively about everything now because of that would be wrong," stressed captain Robert Andrich following the final game, knowing that the past year at Bayer 04 was marked, more than almost any other, by the start of a new era and the courage to change – and in particular, the belief in a positive direction. Everyone was aware this process would need time. The first part of the 2025/26 season review.
