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.

Under the slogan ‘Holidays without War’, 60 children from war-torn Ukraine took part in the summer camp organised by the German-Ukrainian association Blau-Gelbes Kreuz in Leverkusen and the surrounding area in August. The children aged between 10 and 14 – many of whom have lost their parents in the war – come from the Ukrainian twin towns of Leverkusen, Cologne and Monheim am Rhein: Nikopol, Dnipro and Volodymyr. Bayer 04, Bayer AG and TSV Bayer 04 supported the camp to mark its 10th anniversary, enabling even more children and young people than in previous years to spend a few carefree days’ holiday away from the war in the Rhineland.
