HOF and Entegris - Success is no coincidence
Successful collaborations are no coincidence, like this corporate partnership with Entegris Life Science in the field of bulk drug substance and cold storage from the USA. An international provider of robust cold storage and transportation. Entegris is known for its Aramus™ bag, among other things.
The goals of the cooperation include bundling joint technological know-how and successfully utilizing this synergy for customers. The advantages of the cooperation between HOF and Entegris enables pharmaceutical and biotechnological customers to find the best available solution for their individual process and at the same time to benefit from the many years of experience of both specialists.
As part of the partnership, a HOF Freeze-Thaw Unit (FTU) has already been installed at the newly created Life Sciences Technology Center in Billerica (Massachusetts, USA) to enable customers to leverage cold chain expertise, to optimize processes, reduce costs and accelerate time to market.
The world-class lab brings together tools and technologies from both manufacturers in one location where customers can test freeze/thaw equipment to determine which products meet their needs best.
The partnership with Entegris reinforces HOF's expert market leadership and makes it easier for U.S.-based customers to connect with HOF's equipment, gain experience and find their custom solution.
HOF looks forward to a long and successful relationship!
Review of ACHEMA 2022 – innovative – complex and successful!
With the theme of “A safe investment – now and in future, HOF systems are technological leaders”, HOF once again presented itself at this year’s international leading trade fair with many interesting new topics.
The exhibition stand was well frequented not only by existing customers, but also by numerous interested individuals who came to learn about new technologies, discuss new projects or simply to establish a personal contact.
We were particularly delighted with how popular the live presentations of the HOF SIRIUS robot-based loading and unloading system were.
But many discussions also focused on topics such as HOF CryoBlizzard central refrigeration – the new innovative technology that uses air as a refrigerant for freeze drying.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who visited us at ACHEMA 2022 and are already looking forward to welcoming everyone at the next ACHEMA in Frankfurt am Main from 10 to 14 June 2024.
“We are very satisfied with the feedback and we can see clearly how much our work is appreciated with regard to our innovative know-how.”
Alexander Hof/CEO
