Romaco China Opens a new Processing Laboratory

The ‘Romaco China Solids Process Centre’ was officially opened by Romaco China and Truking on the Truking campus in Changsha on 16 April 2019. More than 500 invited guests from the pharmaceutical, food and chemical industries were in attendance at the opening ceremony. A live broadcast of the event was watched by an audience of around 50,000 on WeChat, the online messaging service. Visitors were subsequently provided with an introduction to Romaco’s processing technology and laboratory work in the framework of a seminar. 

With six laboratories and three conference rooms totalling 840 m2, the new processing laboratory is the perfect address to engage in research and development work. The extensive services on offer at the “Romaco China Solids Process Centre” are mainly targeted at solids manufacturers in China and throughout Asia. Depending on their needs, they can book laboratory sessions for drying, granulating, tableting or coating solid particles. 

The ‘Romaco China Solids Process Centre’ is Romaco’s first laboratory outside Europe. It is also the manufacturer’s first research institute dedicated to both processing and tableting.

“Our daily laboratory activities are what drive our innovation process. Our customers’ needs, wishes and problems motivate us to perform at our very best,” emphasised Romaco CEO Jörg Pieper. “The physical and cultural proximity to our customers plays an important role here, and it fills us with pride that Romaco’s first non-European laboratory has now opened in Asia. The laboratory’s location on the Truking company campus is strategically placed for us, and I’d like to say a big thank-you to both Truking and Mr Yue Tang.”

“The ‘Romaco China Solids Process Centre’ is yet another landmark in Truking’s collaboration with Romaco,” commented Yue Tang, Truking Group Chairman and founder. “The last two years have proved just what can be achieved when you have your sights set on a common goal. Romaco’s excellent visibility on the Truking campus in Changsha will enhance our global position and send out a clear signal to our customers.”
