VMI expertise supports the life cycle of your industrial project
To meet your performance challenges, our experts support you in the reflection, study, and design phases to develop the production tool best suited to your needs and the constraints of your sector.
As a specialist in mixing for more than 70 years, we offer you our know-how in mixing techniques and processes. In our Process Development Center, our engineers allow you to conduct experimental trials and validate formulas and technology in compliance with your specifications and the standards of the cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry (GAMP5, CFR21 Part11, S88). The results obtained can be directly extrapolated to production, thanks to our technology that facilitates the transition from laboratory to industrial scale production.
As an equipment manufacturer committed to sustainable and responsible development, we offer efficient and economical solutions that allow you to improve your environmental footprint.
Once the commissioning and the technical training of your operators are complete, we remain at your side by offering you a wide range of services that guarantee the durability of your installation.
