MERZ remains MERZ.

MERZ Verpackungsmaschinen GmbH is set to take a significant step: after many years on the management board, Holger Merz is handing over responsibility to Andreas Brazke (Technical Director), who will in future steer the company’s fortunes as a director alongside Jörn Damaschke (Commercial Director).

Andreas Brazke brings 25 years’ experience in business development to the role. He started his career at MERZ in final assembly and in the field service team; he later worked as deputy assembly manager and in pneumatics project planning. His career then took him from Design & Development into Sales.

As the former Head of Sales, he has a detailed understanding of both the international markets and the requirements and wishes of customers. Over the past few years, he has played an active role in MERZ’s positive development and has provided key impetus for growth and internationalisation.

  • Andreas Brazke

    “I am grateful for the trust that has been placed in me and am looking forward to this new role. MERZ has built up its excellent reputation over many years. I would like to continue on this path together with our team, whilst at the same time seizing new opportunities for the future.”

  • Holger Merz

    “Anyone who has been with a company for many years has a connection to it that goes far beyond figures and projects. This makes it all the more important to hand over responsibility to someone who understands the company and knows the people behind it. With Andreas and Jörn at the helm, I know MERZ is in good hands. As for myself, I will be focusing on the company’s development projects in future.”

  • Jörn Damaschke

    “I am very much looking forward to working with Andreas and to continuing to drive MERZ’s positive development forward together. The combination of experience, trust and a strong team provides an excellent foundation for the next steps.”

The change in leadership stands for continuity, trust, and a shared conviction that sustainable success is based on strong values, dedicated employees, and partnerships. MERZ remains MERZ—for customers, employees, suppliers, and partners.

ACTIV
STICKPACK®

Als Erweiterung des bekannten Merz-Stickpack-Programms für die Pharmaindustrie präsentiert Merz eine Neuentwicklung zur Herstellung von ACTIV STICKPACKS®. Diese Stickpacks sind mit einem feuchtigkeits- und sauerstoffabsorbierenden Zusatzmaterial ausgestattet, das die Atmosphäre innerhalb der Verpackung reguliert.

So können Produkte wie Tabletten, Mikrotabletten, Pulver oder Granulate wirksam vor Feuchtigkeit geschützt werden – was ihre Haltbarkeit und Stabilität deutlich verbessert.

Due to its special design, the risk of swallowing conventional drying agents is eliminated, as the additive material is firmly welded to the film and designed in such a way that no product is enclosed by it.

This also means that the additive material cannot be removed from the film without destroying the packaging, which additionally contributes to safety in the application of children's-specific medications.

The functional group will be demonstrated on a MERZ SBL50, in combination with a micro-tablet dosing system, which can flexibly fill any desired number of tablets.

As usual with Merz, this additional equipment can also be retrofitted to any SBL50.

High-precision
dosing

MERZ has developed an innovative MFS800 filling system for Stickpack and 3-side seal bags. The system enables small and very small quantities to be weighed without any influence from the packaging material, i.e. net weighing.
