Our products have distinguished themselves for a fast effect coupled with an excellent patient tolerance. To achieve these results our collaboration with Swiss Caps AG is key. We are looking back at over 20 years of intense and fruitful collaboration. Started in 1999 as a pure supplier agreement it has developed in a mutually beneficial cooperation: we do appreciate Swiss Caps AG’s reliability high quality standards and excellent customer support. They supply us with one of our main products for respiratory indications, for which the softgel formulation is integral part of our product. As we move forward into new fields and explore new markets, we are sure that Swiss Caps AG will be a very important part for our success story.

At Douglas Pharmaceuticals we do have a reputation for high manufacturing standards, quality products and outstanding client service. Based in New Zealand we always look for long lasting partnerships in other global regions that can maintain our high standards. That is the reason why Swiss Caps AG was a logical choice for us. With their OTD close to 100 % and the complaint rate below 1%, Swiss Caps AG allows us to concentrate on our growth plans.The cooperation commenced in 1994 with the development of a generic product. Swiss Caps AG’s specific technology knowledge was key to the fast and efficient launch of the product in 1998 for the European market. Since then the business has been growing constantly and the product is now one of our main financial drivers. One of the biggest milestones was the launch in the Eu and US, with other markets following. A further milestone in our collaboration was our Lean Initiative in 2017 to identify and implement further operational improvements into our cooperation. In 2020 we kicked-off an intercompany Engagement Plan with the focus on continuous improvement and jointly developing new business opportunities.We have always considered Swiss Caps AG as a partner more than a supplier. Their proficiency coupled with the willingness to go the extra mile and their deep knowledge of soft gelatin capsule technology is the reason we consider Swiss Caps AG as a reliable and trustworthy partner. We look forward to expanding our future collaborations with them.

Space project in kindergarten: Little astronauts travel into space

Kirchberg, 20/04/2021

For the children of the Zuckenriet kindergarten near Kirchberg (CH), an interesting project turned into a true fantasy journey into space. Traveling in COVID-19 times: that's as good as impossible; traveling into space: even more so. But a project of the kindergarten Zuckenriet made it possible. For quite some time now, outer space, the sun, the moon and the stars have been the subject of a project in the kindergarten. The children learned about the planets of the solar system, observed the moon at home in the evening and reported the next day how it changes from night to night. Then the idea came up to make a fantastic research trip into space. Astronaut helmets were quickly made with balloons and paste, and the little astronauts could look into space from the cut-out, silver-edged peephole of the helmets. A room lined with aluminum foil became the rocket's interior. Now all that was missing were the matching "space suits. For this, the kindergarten asked Swiss Caps AG, a member of the Aenova Group. The Aenova Group is a leading global contract manufacturer for the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. At the Kirchberg site, soft gelatine capsules are developed and produced, such as high-dose vitamin D preparations. High standards of hygiene are set in pharmaceutical production. For this reason, employees only enter the production rooms wearing special protective suits, which have now become "space suits" in the Zuckenriet kindergarten. With this, the spaceman ambience was complete and the journey into space could begin. A great project that made learning, creativity and fun possible even in times of pandemic.
