Editorial by Commercial Director
at IMA Pharma

Synchronise, orchestrate, motivate.

With these three words, Thomas Fricke, who joined IMA exactly 30 years ago, begins to explain the All-In-One Pharma strategy that is the leitmotif of IMA Pharma’s approach to the third decade of the 21st century. Synergy is important because lack of synergy is equivalent to a lack of interest. Working synergically leads to greater opportunities for ourselves and for our customers, but synergy means accepting and exploiting diversity.

“Part of our job is to facilitate synergies at every level, exploiting the intrinsic diversities we encounter.”

The All-In-One Strategy

In many ways, this approach starts by closing the gaps. IMA has gone from being a machine supplier to a solutions provider. Thomas summarises this evolution in a pragmatic way:

“Today, it’s easier for me to tell a customer which machines IMA does not supply, than to list all the solutions we develop and deliver to make up a complete processing and packaging line for our pharmaceutical customers.”

IMA represents a cohesive organisation, state-of-the-art technology and process knowledge, and ensures that today’s solution will easily adapt to tomorrow’s needs. IMA also has the financial critical mass to guarantee continuity, to keep a stock of critical components, never fall short of expectations and never be afraid of having a vision.

All-In-One is a pledge, a promise of efficiency. One investment, one contract, one relationship based on trust that ensures every ounce of value is shared with the customer. Nothing is lost talking to different departments or companies, even those who claim to form a strategic alliance, where a perfect balance is never to be found.

IMA Pharma is where skills combine and where collective expertise works to provide a single solution for a complex task. This is the All-In-One.

This knowledge can also be used within the framework of a team. This is why IMA Active is the ideal partner for excellence, not just for integrated equipment but also for specific installations.
