Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd. is a global generic pharmaceuticals company whose 2012 sales topped $20 billion, producing 850 generic molecules with another 400 in development. Last year it manufactured 73 billion tablets at 75 pharmaceutical and API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) production facilities worldwide.

Recently Teva faced a challenge many companies would gladly take on: Its global customer base was growing so significantly that its remaining manufacturing facility space needed to be carefully allocated.

“We saw that floor space needed to be truly maximized moving forward,” says Gabi Cherniak, engineering expert for Packaging and Assembly Technologies for Teva Pharmaceutical Industries. “Being judicious with floor space by placing high demands on your equipment footprint should be part of the evaluation process for any growing business.”

Faced with business expansion and limited space for additional manufacturing equipment, Teva sought new bottling and desiccant feeding machinery to provide heightened production within a smaller footprint. For that, Teva turned to equipment partner Omega Design Corp.

“Teva has purchased and incorporated Omega equipment in the past, and we have always been impressed with their machines’ quality design and robust capabilities, as well as the company’s excellent after-sales service,” says Cherniak. “This last point—customer service—was key, because we were planning to implement the new equipment multi-nationally. Due to this global scale, we needed to be sure our needs would be met expertly and expeditiously.”
