PSK Pharma Launches Production of Empty Hard Gelatin Capsules Under the PHARMCAPS® Brand
At the 27th International Exhibition of Equipment, Raw Materials, and Technologies for Pharmaceutical Production Pharmtech & Ingredients, PSK Pharma presented its own hard gelatin capsules under the PHARMCAPS® brand.
In accordance with Russian Government Order No. 1495-r of June 7, 2023, “On the Approval of the Development Strategy for the Pharmaceutical Industry of the Russian Federation for the Period Until 2030,” aimed at reducing the Russian pharmaceutical industry’s dependence on imports, PSK Pharma has launched the production of empty hard gelatin capsules under the PHARMCAPS® brand.
Evgenia Shapiro, General Director of PSK Pharma:
“We first faced a shortage of gelatin capsules in 2020, during the pandemic, when disruptions in international supply chains led to a deficit. Many companies, including ours, realized that we could be left not only without active pharmaceutical ingredients and critical components, but even without basic raw materials used universally—empty capsule shells. This is how the idea emerged to create a local, technologically advanced production site to cover both our internal needs and the needs of other Russian manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements. The approval of the Pharma-2030 Strategy confirmed that we had chosen the right direction and motivated us to accelerate the project’s implementation.
The Russian market requires a flexible automated production of hard gelatin capsules that meets modern standards, is located close to many domestic pharmaceutical manufacturers, ensures short delivery times, and can supply products in a range of high-demand sizes and a wide variety of colors. This is precisely the kind of product we are now offering under the PHARMCAPS brand.”
PHARMCAPS® hard gelatin capsules offer a number of advantages:
- manufactured in full compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) requirements;
- produced using modern automated production lines;
- equipped with high-tech machinery that meets international quality standards;
- customizable by size, color, and logo printing;
- reliable and fast delivery ensured by the plant’s location in the Dubna Special Economic Zone, Moscow Region;
- dedicated customer service team providing on-site technical support;
- opportunity for representatives of customer quality departments to visit the production site in person.
