About Us

Our mission is to deliver practical value by resolving film-coating challenges with a rigorous, scientific, and engineering-driven approach.

Our Vision

Film-coating technology that is accessible, understandable, and practical for every level of the pharmaceutical industry.

Our Focus

We invest in research that makes film-coating science useful in real development and manufacturing environments. Our work has produced numerous peer-reviewed publications, a patent in coating modeling, and contributions to industry training.

See our recent article featured in Tablets & Capsules magazine.

R&D

We develop applications that turn complex coating relationships into clear, actionable insights. Designed for executives, engineers, scientists, technicians, and operators, the tools we build help teams visualize how their coating processes behave and make better decisions during design, scale-up, and daily operations.

Products

Our diagnostics and customization services adapt PCTSUni to your site’s conventions, training needs, and operating realities. Whether you are developing a new tablet formulation, transferring technology, or troubleshooting a recurring issue, we help make scientific principles easier to apply.
