Equipment, ingredients, and technical support for pharma and nutraceutical manufacturers
Operio Group bundles machinery expertise (inherited from LFA Machines) with ingredient knowledge (from Vivion Inc) to serve solid-dose, capsule, and tableting manufacturers. The tech stack is almost entirely Rockwell Automation and Allen-Bradley industrial control systems—RSLogix, Studio 5000, FactoryTalk—with minimal cloud or modern tooling, reflecting a business built around legacy equipment support and modernization rather than software innovation.
Operio Group was founded in 2022 as a combination of LFA Machines and Vivion Inc, positioning itself as both a supplier and technical partner to food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. The company specializes in solid-dose and capsule production equipment alongside active ingredients and chemicals. With 201–500 employees based in Fort Worth, Texas, Operio operates across both U.S. and U.K. markets. Current operational focus centers on legacy equipment modernization, retrofit documentation, technical documentation development, and product testing—pain points that revolve around obsolete systems, component replacement, and downtime reduction.
Operio's stack is industrial-control-focused: Rockwell Automation, Allen-Bradley, RSLogix 500/5000, Studio 5000, FactoryTalk View (ME/SE), AutoCAD Electrical, PLCs, and HMI systems. Google Workspace (Sheets, Docs) handles office tasks.
Current projects include legacy equipment modernization, retrofit documentation updates, technical documentation development, product testing and validation, and identifying equipment upgrade opportunities—all addressing obsolescence and downtime challenges.
