Braille presents a challenge

Few packaging sectors require as much recourse to technology and expertise as the pharmaceutical industry. This is why the Körber Medipak Group, together with Rondo SA, offers specific concepts at each packaging stage – from development, through to delivery of the packs. Based in the Swiss region of Basel, Rondo also has subsidiaries in the Czech Republic and in the USA. It has 300 employees and a turnover of € 38 million, 90% of which is in the pharmaceutical industry and the remainder in foodstuffs and cosmetics. 40% of sales are exported to Europe, the USA, Canada and Puerto Rico. The quality of its standard or specialized packaging makes it an uncontested leader in the field. With ISO 9001:2000 certification, Rondo raises the bar of quality very high indeed.

It has already been translated into German and Italian law.
