Located in the beautiful hills of Himachal Pradesh, Alkem Laboratories (HP) stands as one of India’s leading pharmaceutical manufacturers. As production grew and quality standards became stricter, Alkem realized the need for a faster and smarter packaging system. To meet these goals, the company teamed up with Smart Pack India to upgrade its packaging line with modern, high-performance machines. This partnership not only improved efficiency and speed but also ensured every medicine was packed with complete safety, accuracy, and care.
Problem
With growing production and stricter quality rules, Alkem Laboratories (HP) started facing packaging difficulties. Manual processes and outdated machines slowed operations, caused wastage, and made it hard to maintain consistent quality.
