Our Customers are at the heart of all we do.

As an innovative technology partner, our goal is

to strengthen the competitiveness and success

of our clients. We believe in partnership and

purpose-driven cooperation. Join us at our

››Place of Partnership‹‹ in Canton Schaffhausen

and be inspired by our international scientific

network. GÜNTER BERGMANN, CO-FOUNDER AND CEO

An incredible journey of innovation and entrepreneurship

OUR SUCCESS

We are a well-established company in Pharma & Chemistry

and Materials Technology formerly coming out from one of

the most renowned Research Center of Switzerland

(Alusuisse Lonza Group) . Our ever-growing customer base

profits from our broad range of expertise and turnkey

solutions.

Within five years of establishing ourselves as an indepen-

dent technology company in 2011, we acquired over 1000

new clients after the management buy out. In order to meet

growing customer requirements, we relocated to a new and

modern facility in Neuhausen in 2018. Across 2500 square

meters, today’s Suisse Technology Partners (Suisse TP)

offers its clients innovative technology, processes and

know-how.

40 SCIENTISTS, 800 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

Our experts have the experience and focus to generate

high added value. Coming from Pharmaceutical-,

Chemical-, or Metal- Industry - our self responsible and

highly motivated team members all have the same gene:

They think and act like entrepreneurs. Each of us is taking

responsibility for what we do and the whole team is

willing to succeed. That brings our ideas to life.

Suisse Technology Partners

was founded in 2011, just six months

after its very first conception –

that was amazing.

PROGRESS THROUGH MATERIAL COMPETENCE

The demands placed on pharmaceutical packaging are

varied and high. Packaging made predominantly of

plastic and aluminum have high functional requirements

in the areas of, for example: barrier performance,

sealability and formability.

The high quality requirements often conflict with

material and cost reductions. Consequently, the physical

and mechanical properties of the materials should be

exploited as far as possible. This requires a sound and

comprehensive understanding of materials.

We are a long-standing partner and independent service

provider to the pharmaceutical industry and support our

customers in packaging development, product and

process optimization and failure analysis.

• Laboratory analysis and material testing,

simulation for solutions

• Complex development tasks

• Stability studies and analytical characterization

of drug substances and products

THE BEST ABOUT OUR TEAM

We have a highly experienced team of chemists and engineers.

More than half hold a PhD. Most have a background in R&D,

Analytics and Project Management within pharmaceutical

companies. Our work operations are collaborative, highly

motivated, engaged, competent, solution and success

orientated.

We believe workflows based on respect and interaction bring

the best results. Many minds, one team.

THE BEST ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION

Our flat hierarchy ensures agility, responsiveness and clear

communication. We believe effective communication is

paramount for growth, and we apply this philosophy towards

our clients and within our team.

Our Career Development and Research Office knows a team

of motivated employees is essential to our daily operations

and the scope of our work; there is no obstacle we cannot

navigate.

Our goal is to maintain a high continuity of competencies and

care for an ever-expanding team of essential experts.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT IN A NUTSHELL

Do you need external resources to implement and

promote your research topics and projects in the

clinical API development? Or do you need to re-design

or optimize an existing API synthesis route?

Whether developing new processes or optimizing

existing ones – a team of experienced scientists, project

leaders and laboratory assistants provide complete

solutions for your research and development projects.

From chemical synthesis in the laboratory to the

transition of synthesis routes into production scale –

our turnkey solutions are designed to your specifica-

tions and requirements.

Sufficiently protecting new innovations is an important

aspect both of successful research and development

and strengthening your overall competitiveness. Our

independent IP Law Firm - where Suisse TP is a share-

holder - assesses the patentability of inventions and

provides expertise with patent applications, official

examination procedures and patent defense.

• Clinical API Development

• Chemical Process Development & Optimization

• Scale-up Support

If there are problems with existing processes, we will

find solutions.

MONITORING THE QUALITY

We are committed to quality

CENTRALIZED MANAGEMENT – EFFICIENCY AND

EFFECTIVENESS

Our certified, customer and process oriented Integrated

Management System (IMS) combines relevant management

areas like quality management, risk management, data

protection management, knowledge and ideas management,

EHS (Environment, Health, Safety) management in one

consistent management concept.

LABORATORY 4.0

Modern laboratories require a modern data management,

because the amount of information has significantly

increased. Our Laboratory Information Management

System (LIMS) is able to cover all our central requirements.

Data flows are mapped and perfectly transformed from

data into information and knowledge. So all processes are

remaining traceable for years to come, while results and

reports are available in a timely manner.

INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL MONITORING

Strictly implemented internal and external audit processes

are a must. Internal audits are examining and eliminating

issues related to our practices and processes.

In addition to help ensure organizational compliance with

applicable laws, regulations, and standards, our external

auditing provides independent reviews and analysis of our

internal controls.

• Accredited according to ISO 17025 (STS 0023) by

Swiss Accreditation Service

• GMP certified by Swissmedic

WORLDWIDE STANDARDS
