WHY work with Hermes pharma?
Over 50% of people experience difficulties swallowing conventional tablets and capsules – so why bring a product to market that half your customers cannot take or simply will not like? We believe that oral pharmaceuticals and food/dietary supplements should be both convenient and easy to swallow so people take them correctly. Not only is this better for the individual, but improved compliance results in more successful treatments, and reduces overall healthcare costs.

Quality is essential throughout the pharmaceutical industry. Patients and consumers rely on it as it guarantees the efficacy and safety of the products bought or prescribed.
At HERMES PHARMA, we understand that quality underpins the trust our customers have in us and also their relationships with patients and consumers. Quality forms the basis of a positive, continuous partnership and commercial success. We always strive to improve the quality of our products and services by putting the customer and its products first.
While our quality-assurance system provides the framework for delivering consistently high-quality medicinal products and food/dietary supplements, it’s the mind-set of our people that truly distinguishes the quality of HERMES PHARMA’s products and services. This enables us to make better products more efficiently, and offers our customers the opportunity to develop a reputation for high-quality products in their markets. As CDMO, we been developing and manufacturing high-quality drugs and supplements for more than 40 years.
Our QbD/PAT process
Quality by Design (QbD) brings quality to the fore from the very beginning of the product development and manufacturing process, improving efficiency as a result. Combined with Process Analytical Technology (PAT), QbD means stepping away from traditional quality testing methods. Instead, QbD employs systematic, data-driven strategies to deliver quality outcomes, minimize risk and avoid unnecessary downstream issues.
Our team at HERMES PHARMA has embraced QbD and PAT as these approaches result in better processes and products, lower manufacturing and regulatory costs, as well as faster time-to-market.
Specialist manufacturing services
We are experienced in manufacturing user-friendly oral dosage forms and have the specialist knowledge, skills, processes, technology, equipment and facilities required for doing so. We work according to
- GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) for drugs and medicinal products,
- international standards for food safety, such as HACCP (Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point) and US-CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) - and ISO 13485 for medical devices.
