ILC Dover Acquires JetSolutions SA

FREDERICA, Del. and ROSSENS, Switzerland, May 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ILC Dover, the global pioneer of disposable processing and powder containment systems for the pharmaceutical industry, announced today it has acquired JetSolutions SA, of Rossens, Switzerland. JetSolutions has extensive experience in powder/liquid mixing and processing operations including dosing, powder conveying, liquid mixing, and delumping.  They provide turnkey installations from design through installation and service.  Adding their experience and capabilities to those of Grayling Industries, which ILC Dover acquired in 2013, allows ILC Dover to provide a broad range of solutions from bulk packaging to processing.

"The addition of the JetSolutions business, technology and employees to the ILC Dover family will enable us to more fully meet the needs of customers in the Pharmaceutical, BioPharmaceutical, Chemical, Foods and Personal Care markets. Together with the capabilities of ILC Dover's DoverPac^® containment solutions and the Grayling line of packaging products, we can now address critical customer challenges from processing of materials, to critical containment needs to the packaging of intermediate products.  Patrick, Daniel and the JetSolutions team will also strengthen our business access to key European markets," said Fran DiNuzzo, president of ILC Dover.

JetSolutions SA core strength is its ability to design and build custom manufacturing systems based on the unique needs of its customers. System components are assembled and tested by JetSolutions SA prior to onsite installation to ensure optimal performance and system integrity.

"Being part of ILC Dover greatly expands our customer network, financial capabilities and ability to develop new solutions," said Patrick Mayor, managing director and co-owner of JetSolutions SA – who is now the European sales manager at ILC Dover.
