Systech International

In July 1994, Dubilier & Company invested in Systech International.

Systech International is a leading provider of packaging execution systems (“PES”), which empower manufacturers with technology that enables visibility, governance and auditability of packaging-line quality and performance, as well as the ability to integrate the information into their enterprise software applications.  The company’s TIPS (Total Integrated Packaging Solution) family of software-based solutions and services includes machine vision inspection, device management, packaging-line control, and information management and analytics that help manufacturers advance the quality, safety, security and regulatory compliance of their packaging processes while improving overall productivity.  The company has a leading position in the global pharmaceuticals industry, with an installed base of thousands of systems and sales to all of the top 15, and 19 of the top 20, pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer Inc, Merck & Co. Inc., Novartis AG, GlaxoSmithKline plc, Wyeth, and Cephalon Inc.

The company’s leadership in the pharmaceutical market positions it to drive dramatically improved financial results in the near term, as every pharmaceutical company that sells products into the United States will need to address its own ability to meet mandates from several states relating to e-Pedigrees and product authentication. In addition, the US Food and Drug Administration as well as several other European and emerging market regulatory agencies have begun to issue guidelines to ensure supply chain integrity. All of Systech’s customers will have to address these guidelines in the near term.

To comply with these regulations, pharmaceutical companies will need to make important decisions about vendors well in advance of these mandates in order to have their systems operating in time.  Systech’s product capabilities, domain expertise, and momentum as the premier vendor meeting the packaging-line item-level serialization requirements of these mandates position the company to gain major contracts during 2011 and beyond.
