Contract manufacturer for pharmaceuticals across liquids, ointments, creams, and packaging
Famar operates a multi-site pharmaceutical contract manufacturing network with deep expertise in liquid and topical formulations. The tech stack reflects a traditional pharma-manufacturing footprint (SAP ERP, PLC, HPLC, Minitab) with no recent tech adoption signals, while hiring remains concentrated in manufacturing and skews junior-to-mid level. Active projects cluster around equipment validation, preventive maintenance, and process analytics—revealing an organization focused on operational stability and regulatory compliance rather than innovation velocity.
Famar is a European contract manufacturer serving pharmaceutical and healthcare companies across more than 80 international markets. The company operates six production sites and two R&D units, employing approximately 1,850 people. Services span technical development, product transfer, industrialization, and distribution, with particular strength in liquids, ointments, creams, and packaging solutions. The product portfolio includes around 1,800 SKUs supplied to mid-market and large pharmaceutical customers across Europe and globally.
Core systems include SAP ERP (R/3 and S/4HANA), PLC controllers, HPLC instrumentation, Minitab for statistical analysis, and standard Microsoft Office tools. No recent tech adopptions are evident in the hiring or project data.
Current priorities include preventive maintenance and validation of packaging machinery, sterility and microbial testing, analytical method transfer and validation, and production data analysis for process improvement—all aimed at reducing downtime and equipment reliability.
