75 years Fette Compacting
In 1948, Fette Compacting developed its first own tableting machine. Since then, many more innovations and milestones have followed in the history of Fette Compacting. We are proud of what we have achieved over all these years together with our employees and customers and are full of anticipation for the next decades and great innovations under the motto: "Together to the Next".
With "Together – from lab to production," Fette Compacting opens a new chapter in its corporate history. The strategy reflects the company's transformation from a machine manufacturer into a holistic process partner. Across the entire product lifecycle – from formulation development and technology transfer to efficient tablet production – Fette Compacting supports its customers with integrated process expertise, technologies, and services from a single source.
With the groundbreaking ceremony for the new Customer Development Center (CDC'25), Fette Compacting marks the beginning of a key project for the future. The innovation center at the company's headquarters in Schwarzenbek will become the heart of the "Together – from Lab to Production" strategy, creating an environment for collaborative innovation – from formulation development to efficient tablet production.
