Renowned freeze-dryer manufacturer Usifroid has acquired UFFO-EAM, its long-term partner for freeze dryer loading
and unloading and tray loading systems.
As of March 4th, 2004, UFFO-EAM became a fully-owned division of Usifroid and is now known as EAM.
EAM has been Usifroid's partner in the pharmaceutical industry since 1992 and has co-engineered and manufactured
automated loading and unloading systems, transfer carts and trayloaders associated with turnkey freeze-drying projects.
Usifroid and EAM jointly developed the successful vibrating table technology, a unique system used to assemble vials in
a rectangular pack and also dissassemble vial packs and feed them to a conveyor belt. The vibrating table offers
several key advantages over conventional load and unload accumulation systems, in terms of speed, GMP compliance,
reliability, ease of operation and cleanability.
Benoit d'Armancourt, Managing Director of Usifroid, highlights the strategic fit of this acquisition:
"Acquiring EAM is an exceptional opportunity for us, given the strong competence of its team and the know-how we have
developed mutually over the past 12 years. It is an essential step to boost our growth in freeze-drying loading
applications, a segments of the market that is currently expanding very quickly. This acquisition enables us to answer
