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.
