For three decades, ROTA has stood for cutting-edge machine solutions in the pharmaceutical industry. This anniversary is not just a reason to celebrate but also a moment to reflect, appreciate the journey.
Our roots run deep — all the way back to 1925, when we developed the world's first automatic filling and sealing machine for ampoules. What began as a pioneering achievement has evolved into a company that consistently delivers quality, innovation, and strong customer partnerships.
Technology rooted in tradition with a vision for the future
As a medium-sized enterprise, we develop, manufacture, and deliver highly specialized machines for the pharmaceutical industry. Our company history is shaped by visionary ideas and breakthrough technologies: for many years, we didn’t only focus on filling machines — we also developed ampoule forming machines and a range of innovative syringe types, such as the Rotiole, the Manole, and the Venüle.
One of our most well known innovations is the "break-open ampoule," which is sterile on the inside and does not require pre-washing or sterilization. It is opened, filled, and sealed inside the machine, ensuring a sterile and efficient process.
We were also pioneers in visual inspection technology, developing machines capable of detecting internal contamination, verifying fill levels, and checking closures on ampoules and bottles long before it became an industry standard.
Custom machines, not off-the-shelf – tailored to your needs
Since the 1990s, our focus has been solely on machines that wash, sterilize, fill, seal, and label ampoules, bottles, and syringes. Our machines are not mass-produced, rigid standard machines are not our philosophy. We specialize in what others can’t or won’t do!
Our core strength lies in flexibility. Each machine is developed in close collaboration with the customer, built to meet specific requirements and production goals. We accompany our customers every step of the way, from concept to commissioning and far beyond.
The result? A solution perfectly aligned with each client's product and process, achieving outputs of up to 24,000 units per hour.
A highly skilled team with heart and drive
We believe excellence begins with people. That’s why we remain a small but skilled and passionate team, fully committed to precision and performance. Our employees are highly trained, deeply motivated, and fully focused on delivering each machine with care and competence.
Just as important is our culture of communication and collaboration. Open dialogue and shared knowledge are part of our everyday work and they’re the key to sustainable success.
