Every spring, the two major events "Lounges Cleanroom-Processes" and "PharmaCongress" with the accompanying exhibition "PharmaTechnica Expo" invite a large audience to learn about the latest trends in the cleanroom and process technology industry and in the field of pharmaceutical manufacturing and technology. In 2026, they will be held simultaneously for the first time between March 24 and 26.
gempex uses both events to present its range of services on specific and challenging GMP topics. With its long-standing experts and international presence, gempex offers numerous advantages to customers who want to operate in a reliable manner and cross national borders: comprehensive expertise, local presence, and efficiency-oriented consultancy and implementation for customer-specific tasks. As an international GMP expert, oriented on problem solving rather than only realizing GMP, gempex will be on hand to answer challenging questions from trade fair visitors.
Lounges 2026 – Annex 1 in Implementation
This year, the Lounges will focus on services related to the implementation of EU GMP Annex 1. Practice shows that the devil is in the details! For example, how can a PUPSIT concept be implemented without compromising the aseptic area? Or how should a CCS concept be structured so that it documents the reasons for the facility and process design in an inspection-proof manner and does not just list existing documents ? Do you know the weak points of your system? Does it really already meet the requirements of the EU GMP Annex 1 guideline?
gempex offers practical and experienced consultancy and implementation services. From initial training, gap analysis, and joint solution finding to active support during implementation. Experts from the gempex team will be available at booth D1-2 at the Lounges to exchange information.
In addition, gempex experts will be supporting the Lounges with the following technical presentations:
- GMP Failures in the Conflict between Quality, Costs, and Time
March 24, 2026, 1:30–2:00 p.m., Dr. Ralf Aubeck - Qualification by Suppliers: Advantages, Risks, Solutions
March 25, 2026, 4:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m., Rainer Krisam - Ai in the GMP Environment – Case Study, Regulations, Opportunities, and Risks
March 26, 2026, 3:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m., Manuel Goldstein
