Bologna/Italy – A new company is joining the https://www.process-worldwide.com/marchesini-group-takes-over-vision-inspection-systems-firm-sea-vision-group-a-f96cc05a4aad370a92e86fb87d6396c5/. The latest arrival is M.A.R., a company from Lainate (Milan). This operation further extends the array of technologies available to the Marchesini Group for the packaging of products in the pharma world.

Founded by Silvio Pravettoni in 1967, M.A.R. is perhaps best known for constructing one of the world’s first pharmaceutical product packaging lines complete with a sterile weighing system, which appeared in the late ‘70s. Production process sterility – an essential requirement when packaging products like vaccines and cancer drugs for distribution in pharmacies and hospitals – has continued to be a distinguishing feature of M.A.R., which, in the usual Marchesini Group tradition, will continue to operate from its current site, protecting the continuity of the business and the quality standards of the finished product.

With this acquisition, the number of companies in Lombardy within the Marchesini Group are now eight in the Milan area, and Lombardy itself is second only to Emilia-Romagna – where the Group’s headquarters is located – in terms of number of production sites. There could be no better confirmation that Lombardy’s industrial fabric is the ideal partner for Emilia’s Packaging Valley, where Europe’s most important supply chains for the production of pharmaceutical and beauty product packaging machines are concentrated.

“M.A.R. will retain its Lainate base, its organization and its specialized personnel, but with the aim of expanding in terms of more technicians and design engineers,” explained Pietro Cassani, CEO of Marchesini Group, who will become sole director of M.A.R. as a result of the operation. “Its range of filling products for packaging powders and liquids, including in sterile environment, is an opportunity for enriching the range of complete lines offered by the Marchesini Group, especially through Corima, our company specialized in technologies which uses robotized solutions to guarantee the highest degree of precision in controlled contamination environments. The synergies also extend to Group companies such as CMP Phar.ma for process inspection and Lombardy-based businesses Sea Vision, Auteco and Dott. Bonapace for the production of vision and data acquisition systems, process automation and laboratory machines, respectively.”
