Rubitec specialises in the design and production of client-specific containment systems for pharmaceutical applications.
We place the customer at the centre, with the knowledge to position ourselves on the market with high-quality products.
In particular, our patented SmartDock solution is suitable for containment systems up to Occupational Exposure Band (OEB) level 6, similarly to our BigBag and barrel / drum filling and emptying systems.
Our products comply with stringent guidelines, making us a market leader in the pharmaceutical field. Furthermore, all systems are available in ATmosphere EXplosible (ATEX), up to zone 1/21 outside, as well as 0/20 inside.
