The pharmaceutical packaging and drug delivery industries utilizes a wide range of automated equipment in their production processes: packaging machines, mixing equipment, capsule and vial filling machines, tablet presses, conveyors to name a few.

Plastics, composites and rubbers are vital materials in these processes as they help to maximize equipment efficiency.

In this interview with Jean-Jacques Legat, Technical and Industrial Director at French business cluster, Plastipolis, we discuss its recent merger with Elastopole, a similar business cluster representing companies producing rubbers and polymers, and the implications of this move for the healthcare sector.
