BHS-Sonthofen has announced its partnership with Soitra, an Italian supplier of process and packaging equipment for the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries. The agreement enables customers to purchase high-value technologies for filtration and drying from BHS, and benefit from bundled process expertise and after-sales service from a single source.

In the business area of process technology, BHS-Sonthofen is one of the world’s leading providers for components and systems related to solid-liquid separation, drying, and reacting process steps. Now, the German company is significantly increasing its focus on Southern Europe.

“Of course, the market is highly competitive”, says Martin Specht, Area Sales Manager at BHS-Sonthofen, who is responsible for Italy. “But it also offers huge potential. With our new partner Soitra, we have found the right experts to help Italian companies in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food and feed industries to improve and increase their production. Soitra is an experienced and well-established supplier of filtration and drying technology in the respective industry segments.”

Soitra S.p.A., based in Milan, is a family-owned company founded in 1956, which has developed through continuous growth into a process specialist for a wide range of industries. "With our expertise across many process steps, we can provide our customers with comprehensive support in the implementation of process engineering systems. We want to continuously develop our portfolio, for example for the chemical industry, and thus continue our growth”, comments Gianpiero Raffa, managing director of Soitra. “We are therefore excited to introduce BHS technology to Italian manufacturers.”

Customers interested in BHS technologies benefit from the engineering expertise at Soitra. The company supplies both single machines and components from BHS-Sonthofen as well as complete process lines including after-sales services and maintenance.
