DCAT Week 2O25

We just returned back home after attending the annual DCAT Week assembly in New York.

Attending for the first time, we found the event very successful with many encounters, both prearranged and spontaneous, with people we otherwise might have not been able to meet with. Great discussions and exchanges of thoughts and ideas in an inspiring and welcoming atmosphere, where everyone was free to meet and greet everyone else. The organized talks and sessions were also very practical and informative, covering many aspects of the pharmaceutical industry and its development in the contemporary world.

Thank you very much again for everyone we had the honor to meet, we will take everything with us and carry on forward empowered by the meetings. We look forward to seeing you all again in March 2026!

New tools and more space

Pharmatory has completed the first renovation and investment round during the annual maintenance break in July 2024.


The project included expansion of the QC laboratory and renovation of the current laboratory space to better serve the current needs of the company. In addition, the warehouse and raw material reception area were completely renovated. A new 160-liter Buchi reactor has been installed in the largest pilot room, bringing more flexibility and efficiency to production of tens of kilograms of final products. The company also expects to triple its cGMP manufacturing kg-capacity by the end of 2025 to meet the future customer needs. Regarding this phase II investment round, the great news is that next year there will be also an opportunity to expand office and meeting room space within the same building.
The investment project is partly funded by an EURA grant.

Thank you Korea, until the next time!

Our week in Korea is coming to a close today, it is time to fly back home treasuring all the meetings and hospitality received. Many thanks to everyone who made this trip possible and took the time out of their busy schedules to talk to us! We are truly honored to have been able to develop such long-term and fruitful collaboration and personal relationships. Until we meet again, may it be soon!

Enhancement of our QC laboratory

Birch is economically the third most important tree species in Finland and it is the national tree of Finland. Birch is well suited for firewood and carpentry, and birch pulp is used to make paper.

A birch forest is also adorning the new equipment room of the Pharmatory QC laboratory. The new room has plenty of space for new equipment and allows for redesign of the existing QC laboratory to make it more feasible and user-friendly.
