Visit us at LOUNGES 2026, the industry platform for cleanrooms and process technology!

Messe Karlsruhe, Germany. 24 – 26 March 2026.

From 24 to 26 March 2026, international industry experts will meet at LOUNGES in the dm-Arena at the Karlsruhe Exhibition Centre. We are delighted to be back at this leading event for cleanroom technology and pharmaceutical processes. Will you attend too?

Networking takes center stage at the LOUNGES 2026, with a proven blend of an open, conversation-friendly atmosphere, expert presentations, entertainment programming, and a trade exhibition bringing the Glatt team to Karlsruhe once again. Our contribution for you: cleanroom technology expertise and concentrated engineering capabilities for pharmaceutical and biotech processes and production systems.

Glatt Ingenieurtechnik focuses on many exciting topics:

Optimal technology and maximum cost-effectiveness for your investment project

Our pharmaceutical engineering provides you with customized services from the initial idea to the implementation of pharmaceutical or biotechnological production facilities as an integrated solution. Our engineering services offer you clear advantages:

Holistic, cross-disciplinary engineering
Planning from the process to the turnkey production site
Plant construction, plant engineering, and system integration from a single source
New construction, conversion, modernization, expansion

Glatt experts Oliver Schubert and Dirk Steinhäuser will be providing information at the LOUNGES in two exciting specialist presentations on March 24, 2026:

9:00 a.m., Room 2: Project approach with tech-transfer in pharma & biotech API
5:00 p.m., Room 1: Designing material flow and intralogistics in GMP environment

What interests you most about the LOUNGES? We would appreciate to discuss this with you on site – at one of the presentations, one of the live events, over a light snack, or simply while networking.

‘Project Approach with Tech-Transfer in Pharma & Biotech API’

March 24, 2026 | 9:00 – 9:30 am| Room 2

Speaker: Dirk Steinhäuser, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik

Lecture in English language

What to learn:

Technology search – Identifying of potential Licensor(s)
Technology neutral Concept – parallel to Licensor selection
Structured approach for Concept Design & Basic Engineering
Plant modules, layout typicals and supply structures
Important success factors for Tech transfer and challenges

The pharma and biotech industry are dynamically developing and introducing new products for pharmaceuticals, medicinal products and nutritional supplements into the market. Often a demand for such new products arises in other countries, which are not in the primary business focus of the originators.
Glatt Engineering frequently receives inquiries to design and build production facilities for such new products. In such cases a product owner (pharmaceutical company) who is willing to offer a license and supporting tech transfer needs to be identified and committed.
The presentation provides an overview on the project development approach for this kind of projects which need to involve technology transfer and a licensing partner (licensor). Basic requirements and methods will be discussed; principles of the three-party project approach will be outlined and cornerstones for a TTA (technology transfer agreement) will be explained. Impact to project phases and schedule are considered along with necessary decisions, milestones and commitments to proceed with such complex projects successfully.

‘Designing Material flow & Intralogistics in GMP environment’

March 24, 2026 | 5:00 – 5:30 pm | Room 2

Speaker: Oliver Schubert, Glatt Ingenieurtechnik

Lecture in German language

What to learn:

Requirements to MF & intralogistics in GMP reg. environment
Impact of hygienic zones & airlocks to Layout & Logistics
Case study examples from pharma, food & cosmetics projects

Planning material flow and intralogistics in GMP environments imposes strict requirements on layout design, particularly due to hygiene zones, airlocks, and the need to prevent cross-contamination. This presentation illustrates how these factors impact material flow and logistics and which solutions in the concept design phase help combine efficiency and compliance. Modular planning and automated transport systems enable flexible production areas but introduce specific intralogistics challenges. Real-world examples from pharma, food, and cosmetics demonstrate how regulatory demands and logistical needs can be successfully aligned.
