Fredun Pharmaceuticals Limited (BSE: 539730), a leading provider of pharmaceutical and healthcare solutions for human and veterinary applications, has announced the installation of its second Italian Tube Filling Machine at its production facility. This strategic investment enhances the company’s production capacity by an impressive 2.9 times, allowing it to meet the growing demand for its high-quality products.
The newly installed state-of-the-art machine, manufactured by Axomatic in Italy, underscores Fredun’s commitment to technological advancement and operational efficiency. This expansion comes at a crucial time as the company has received a substantial order to manufacture 2 crore tubes. By FY26, Fredun aims to produce 4 crore tubes, doubling its current capacity and strengthening its position as a leader in topical manufacturing.
Automation to Boost Efficiency
Fredun Pharmaceuticals is also focused on increasing automation within its production process. To enhance efficiency, the company is installing automatic carton packaging machines, significantly reducing dependency on manual labor. An additional packaging machine is planned for Q4 FY25, which is expected to increase productivity and optimize costs. This automation initiative will reduce reliance on the packing workforce by over 80%, allowing the company to focus more on innovation and quality control.
In addition to the tube filling machine, Fredun is expanding its manufacturing capabilities in topicals, targeting a 300% increase in production capacity in Q1 FY26. The company has also placed an order for a 1000 KG manufacturing vessel, which will increase the number of tubes produced per batch while reducing production costs and quality control downtime. The new equipment will enable Fredun to manufacture a wider range of products in multiple size offerings.
Strategic Growth and Market Expansion
Commenting on this development, Mr. Fredun Medhora, Managing Director of Fredun Pharmaceuticals, stated, “I am proud to announce the installation of our second Italian Tube Filling Machine, a milestone in our journey towards operational excellence. Our current tube filling capacity of 1.6 tons per day is set to triple, allowing us to fulfill the substantial order of 2 crore tubes and positioning us to double that output by FY26. These investments in cutting-edge technology will enable us to expand our product range and cater to new markets, reinforcing our position as an industry leader.”
He further emphasized, “By significantly reducing our dependence on manual labor, we are not only enhancing productivity but also improving our focus on quality and customer service. These strategic investments are crucial to our mission of exceeding expectations and delivering exceptional value to our customers.”
