Kolkata-based Neomachine Mfg Co was started in 1973 with an objective of manufacturing all types of pharmaceutical machinery.
For a decade, the company catered to the requirements of the Indian pharma companies in injectable, liquid, tablet, capsule and ointment sections machinery.
‘While catering to this market segment, Neomachine happened to come across a Kolkata-based pharma producer, who were envisaging problems in film coating of tablets. Until then, the tablets were being coated in conventional pans, which were not only causing health hazards to the coating personnel, but was also a time-consuming process. Inspired by this opportunity, Neomachine started the process of developing an automatic coating machine in the right earnest. After, two years of research and development, the first ‘Neocota, Automatic Coating System’ was manufactured in 1984.
During the last three decades, Neomachine manufactured and marketed more than 550 machines, out of which 100 machines were exported to the different countries like the US, Australia, China, Jordan, Yemen, the UAE, Uganda, Kenya, Sudan, Cyprus, Saudi Arabia, Austria, Brazil, Bangladesh, etc.
