Schering GmbH und Co. Produktions KG: … from Weimar all over the world

Schering GmbH und Co. Pro­duk­tions KG – which is a 100 per cent subsid­iary of the Bayer Schering Pharma AG in Berlin – is a pharmaceutical company of the Bayer Group based in Weimar.

The company manufactures hormone-con­­taining solid medication dosage forms (pills, dragees and coated tablets) for the national and international markets of Bayer Schering Pharma AG. Packaging occurs in the form of blister packages and bottles. Innovative and especially pa­­tient-friendly packaging is also ap­­plied.

The plant in Weimar, which was estab­lished in 1994, is simultaneously the headquarters and location for production, quality control and packaging. The logistics centre has also been estab­lished here. It incorporates purchasing, produc­­tion planning, the supply of all materials, storage in a fully-automatic high bay warehouse (8,000 pallet stor­age space) and the distribution and dispatch of all products. Consequent investment in a modern, computer-based integrated sys­­tem for factory management and production planning allows for the optimal control of all operating processes. This affords the enterprise great flexibility for re­­sponding to customer preferences along with cost competitiveness and outsta­nd­­ing quality.
