Lomapharm® - Contract Manufacturing of Mineral Based Drugs and Nutrition Supplements

Lomapharm® offer fully integrated supply chain solutions. We provide the mineral based active ingredient as well as we accompany our partners from development and optimisation of formulations over GMP manufacturing up to the finished packaged product. Benefit from our expert knowledge in development and manufacturing of mineral salt-based products and nutrition supplements. We concentrate both on solid dose formulations and liquid formulations in this special field.

SOLID DOSE FORMULATIONS

Lomapharm® is a first class specialist in manufacturing of mineral salt based pharmaceuticals, e.g. iron based drugs, medical devices or nutrition supplements. By our sister company, Dr Paul Lohmann GmbH KG, we have direct and short-term access to high quality/purity active mineral ingredient. To improve the active ingredient according to your requirements, to develop or optimise formulations are core competencies you can rely on.

Once established your formulation can be processed to granules with defined particle size through compaction or classic granulation and compressed to tablets. Our compression machines eject up to 250,000 tablets per hour with a total capacity of more than 1 billion tablets.

SUGAR AND FILM COATING

Sugar coating of tablets is an art. Based on a strong background of experiences of our coating specialists we can offer unique expertise in sugar coating of tablets. The use of modern sugar coating pans and state-of-the-art coaters places us in a position to satisfy your requirements.

Competence in film coating and enteric coating is a matter of course while our quite recently established silver coating technique with aluminium based gloss is an example for the efforts undertaken to deliver new and attractive solutions to our partners by utilizing our competence in minerals.

LIQUID FORMULATIONS

It was a logical consequence to transfer the experience in manufacturing of mineral based solid formulations to the manufacturing of liquid formulations. Today the manufacturing and filling of solutions, lotions, and oral suspensions are substantial part of our daily business. Our stirring vessels have capacities up to 3,000kg.

STERILE LIQUID FORMULATIONS

Our filling lines are designed for filling operations under aseptic and sterile conditions. We can offer sterile ampoules from 1ml to 10ml as well as aseptic filling of small bottles, for example eye drops.
