Syntegon, a strategic lifecycle partner for the pharmaceutical, biotech, and food industries, has launched its Annex 1 Roadshow. On September 29, a specially designed truck departed from the company's largest location in Crailsheim for a journey across Europe. Until April 2027, experts from Syntegon will visit customer sites to discuss the requirements of Annex 1 and related operational challenges, as well as to showcase technological solutions.

Developing solutions together

“Increasingly strict regulations like EU GMP Annex 1, changing therapy requirements, and the shortage of skilled personnel are putting biotech and pharmaceutical manufacturers as well as CDMOs under growing pressure,” says Stephan März, Executive VP Pharma Liquid at Syntegon. “As a strategic lifecycle partner, we support our customers and understand what drives them. With the Annex 1 Roadshow, we bring innovative technologies and expert advice directly to their locations. Together, we learn and develop solutions that turn challenges into opportunities.”

From compliance questions to practical solutions

At each stop, customers can discuss their questions regarding Annex 1 compliance with engineering, sales, and service experts from Syntegon. They will also see selected technologies demonstrated live. Exhibits include First Air solutions, the SPC Settle Plate Changer for automated cleanroom monitoring, an integrated glove testing device, a PUPSIT filter test rack, and automated changeover tools.

“We support pharmaceutical and biotech manufacturers as well as CDMOs in meeting the requirements of Annex 1 with an integrated approach throughout the entire lifecycle – from initial assessment to practical implementation and comprehensive services such as modernization and software,” says Stephan März. “By listening carefully to our customers, we continuously develop our portfolio; not only with regard to Annex 1 but also in related areas such as quality, performance, and compliance.”
