Alexanderwerk
The world's premium mechanical engineering company for compaction and granulation systems
About
Alexanderwerk GmbH builds roller compactors and granulation machinery for dry compaction and granulation, serving the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries. Its history page states the business was "established by Alexander von der Nahmer as a foundry" in 1885 producing manually operated meat grinders, shifted to machine construction for the chemical and pharmaceutical industries in the 1930s, and developed its first fully functional roller compactor in the 1950s. The imprint gives the registered address as Kippdorfstrasse 6-24, 42857 Remscheid, Germany (HRB 23189, Amtsgericht Wuppertal).
Strategic positioning
Roller compaction and granulation equipment for dry granulation of solid dose.
Deterministic scores · rules-based, not AIiHow these scores are obtained: each one is computed from this profile's listed attributes — capability checkboxes, certifications, capacity figures and coverage — by a fixed formula, recomputed on every page load. Deterministic and rules-based means the score comes from a fixed, transparent formula over listed attributes — the same inputs always produce the same score. It is not AI: there is no model, no learning, and no hidden weighting. Whether a score is relevant to you depends on your specific project: a capability that raises the number may not matter for your work, and a niche strength your project needs may barely move it. Capability scores are a directional starting point, not a verdict. A lower score does not disqualify a company or consultant, and no decision should rest on the score alone — always contact the company directly to confirm the specifics for your project.
Compliance iCounts the 7 regulatory-support checkboxes on this profile (FDA, EU GMP, PIC/S, MHRA, PMDA, Health Canada, WHO GMP) at 6 points each, capped at 35, then adds Annex 1 support (16), validation packages (12), FAT/SAT support (10), IQ/OQ support (10) and ISO 9001 (7). Levels: 80+ Annex 1-ready | 60-79 GMP-compliant | 40-59 Developing | below 40 Basic. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.

Service iAdds 7 points per service-coverage region (capped at 35) and 3 points per global office (capped at 20), plus a service-level bonus (24/7 global 30, Regional 16, Business hours 8). Reported lead time earns up to 15 points, full up to 12 weeks then minus 1 point per extra week. Levels: 80+ Global service | 60-79 Strong coverage | 40-59 Regional | below 40 Limited. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
0Limited
Digital iStarts from the automation level (Robotic 24, Fully automated 20, Automated 14, Semi-automated 8, Manual 2), plus a 3D viewer (12) and single-use capability (8). Each listed equipment item can carry four digital assets (3D viewer, video, drawings, datasheet); the share of those slots filled across the portfolio adds up to 36 points, and the share of single-use items up to 8. Levels: 80+ Industry 4.0 | 60-79 Advanced | 40-59 Established | below 40 Conventional. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
0Conventional
Quality iWeights the four quality-system certifications on the profile: ISO 9001 (30), ISO 13485 (25), ISO 14001 (18) and ISO 45001 (12), plus 5 points per additional certification listed on the platform, capped at 15. Levels: 80+ Fully certified | 60-79 Strong QMS | 40-59 Established | below 40 Basic. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
