By establishing Fette Compacting Italia, the company is strengthening its market presence in one of Europe's most important pharmaceutical locations. The new Bologna location will serve as a local hub for sales, servicing and technical consultancy. The aim is to provide customers in the pharmaceutical and nutrition sectors with even more direct and efficient support.

Italy is one of the strongest pharmaceutical markets in Europe. The Emilia-Romagna region around Bologna in particular is considered a hotspot for pharmaceutical engineering, research, and production. For Fette Compacting, the local presence is therefore a strategically important step in expanding its international growth strategy and customer proximity in a targeted manner.

Fette Compacting: Customer proximity as a success factor

“With Fette Compacting Italia, we are investing in a market that is of great importance to our customers and to our long-term corporate strategy,” explains Dr. Marten Klukkert, Chief Customer Officer at Fette Compacting. “Proximity to our customers is a key success factor, especially because we now accompany them throughout the entire process: from formulation development in the laboratory to commercial tablet production.”

The new subsidiary enables even closer cooperation on projects. It ensures fast response times, particularly in after-sales and spare parts business, thanks to its own service team. Existing customer relationships will be intensified and new potential tapped.

Alessandro Recupero brings expertise in pharmaceutical production to Fette Compacting Italia

Alessandro Recupero, an experienced expert in pharmaceutical production, is taking over the management of Fette Compacting Italia. “I am very much looking forward to building up Fette Compacting Italia and supporting our customers as their direct point of contact in the future,” says Alessandro Recupero. “Italy is a market that sets the highest quality standards and at the same time is highly dynamic in terms of product development. This environment calls for a partner who is close to the projects and recognizes challenges early on. We want to help our customers accelerate their processes and implement ideas more quickly.”

The Italian team is being continuously expanded and trained so that all services and consulting can be offered entirely from the new location. This creates a sustainable model for customer proximity and long-term market development.

Contribution to the European growth strategy

The company has a clear plan for its new subsidiary. It will serve customers in Italy more quickly, competently, and in a more solution-oriented manner. At the same time it will maintain the same high standards for which the company is known worldwide. Close ties to local market will enable the company to support development projects more effectively and further deepen long-term partnerships. Fette Compacting Italia is a central component of the company's European expansion. This underscores its claim to remain the innovation leader in tableting technology and pharmaceutical engineering.
