Pharmaceutical Technical Centre (PTC) – Mexico City, Mexico

With its opening in 2026, the Pharmaceutical Technical Centre (PTC) located at Torre Polanco in Mexico City has been designed to become a strategic hub for application-based training, formulation development and concept creation, strengthening IMCD’s technical footprint in the region.

Our lab-scale process equipment is modern and fully equipped for the manufacturing and testing of oral solid dosage forms (OSDFs), as well as liquid and semi-solid formulation development. We support our customers and partners in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries with a wide range of development capabilities. We offer state-of-the-art equipment, as well as conventional technologies, to help you maximize your plant's capabilities. Another key advantage is our flexible setup, enabling shorter development timelines and accelerated small-scale projects.

Our lab team has extensive experience in drug formulation in the pharmaceutical industry and is skilled in using both conventional and advanced equipment at pilot and production scale. Visit our PTC at our Polanco offices.
