Pharmaceutical Industry in Transition – Digital Pharma Dialog Promotes Exchange of Knowledge

Last year, the FST team had already planned a specially organized event to promote the exchange of knowledge within the industry in the German-speaking DACH region and to come into contact with decision-makers from technical departments in the pharmaceutical industry. Nevertheless, the pandemic made holding a face-to-face event impossible, and an alternative was needed. It was found in the use of the new virtual FST showroom, which visually replicates the company headquarters in Weinheim, and the professional “film studio” equipped with green-screen technology from the FST Academy.

On two afternoons that addressed different topics, speakers from the two host companies and four other cooperation partners presented technical developments, in terms of streamlining processes and digitalization of operating procedures, for instance. “The main focuses of the FST presentations were on the standardization of elastomer grades for use in the pharmaceutical industry, as well as the various services we offer our customers,” explains Nicole Schneider, Vice President Global Process Industry. “We also presented our new virtual tour of the Freudenberg raw mixing plant live for the first time.” An absolute highlight – and at the same time an ideal opportunity to give participants exclusive insights into the heart of FST in a digital format as well.
