Egypt Otsuka is a subsidiary of the esteemed global pharmaceutical company “Otsuka Pharmaceutical” – Established since 1978 with two factories spanning over 2 industrial cities: 10th of Ramadan and El Obour.

For decades, Egypt Otsuka pharmaceuticals have proved itself as the leader in the manufacturing of medicinal products including infusions/injections fluids, Amino Acids, Enteral nutrition, and Ethical drugs which add great value to patients ‘health.
Since the quality of the final product can be contaminated directly by compressed air, compressors play a critical role at the infusion solution business as well in therapeutic drugs. According to the 1998 World Health Organization guide to good manufacturing practice requirements, the compressed air process must be validated when preparing pharmaceutical products.This is the reason why Egypt Otsuka must ensure that the supplied compressed air is 100% oil-free throughout the entire production process.
Atlas Copco oil free compressor is Ideal for our pharmaceutical industry where high-quality oil-free air is key - we got the ZR VSD+ for its reliability and safety in combination with its efficiency - Atlas Copco for us means the best air quality for a guaranteed end product and production process.
