Italy’s Role in Capsule Filling Machinery — The IMA and MG2 Influence
Italy is the world's premier exporter of the machinery used to fill empty capsules. Companies like IMA and MG2 (based in "Packaging Valley," Bologna) have revolutionized the sector:
Continuous Motion Filling: Machines can now fill up to 200,000 capsules per hour with sub-milligram accuracy.
Multi-Product Filling: 2026 technology allows for "combo-filling"—placing a tablet, a powder, and a liquid all within the same capsule—enabling complex drug regimens to be simplified into a single dose.
