What is it

Alexanderwerk is a German mechanical engineering company founded in 1885, headquartered in Remscheid. It went public on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange as early as 1899, making it one of Germany's oldest joint-stock companies. The company specializes in the development and manufacture of dry compaction and granulation systems, serving the pharmaceutical, chemical, food, life sciences, and even nuclear industries. This website is a standard corporate brand and product showcase site.

Core Features

The website is organized around the company profile, history, management team, global branches, and product catalog. The product line is divided into several series:

• BT/WP series: Single-sided supported roller compactors, spanning from R&D (e.g., BT 120 Pharma, with a throughput of about 8 kg/h of lactose) to mass production (WP 200 Pharma);
• PP series: Double-sided supported roller compactors for mass production, with throughput reaching up to several thousand kg/h;
• RFG series: Rotor fine granulators.

Each product comes with detailed technical specifications (roller diameter, roller width, pressure, rotation speed, weight, dimensions) and downloadable product brochures, along with an online inquiry form. The company also offers three main service modules: process consulting, custom engineering design, and global after-sales support. The equipment complies with FDA 21 CFR Part 11 and DIN ISO 9001 certifications, meeting the stringent compliance requirements of the pharmaceutical industry.

Pricing

As heavy industrial custom equipment, the website does not publish any prices. All procurement requires inquiries through the sales team ([email protected]), with a high degree of customization.

Pros and Cons

The strengths lie in the brand's long history, deep technical expertise, and a product range covering the full chain from laboratory to large-scale production, along with key compliance certifications for the pharmaceutical industry. With branches in Germany, the US, India, and China (including a Shanghai trading company), localized service is well in place. The downside is that the website is purely a showcase with no online transactions or self-service features, prices are completely opaque, and it targets an extremely niche professional industrial procurement audience—ordinary visitors will find little relevance.

Who is it for

It suits manufacturing enterprises, R&D laboratories, and engineering procurement departments in the pharmaceutical, chemical, food, and life sciences industries that need dry granulation/compaction process equipment.

Access from China

The website is hosted in the EU and built on the Contao CMS. It can be accessed directly from within China and loads normally. The company has a trading subsidiary in Shanghai, and Chinese-language procurement coordination can be handled through the Shanghai office ([email protected]).
