FROM THE FOUNDER
"I've personally visited 15+ pharmaceutical factories across Latin America."
Over the past 20 years, I've audited pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in São Paulo, Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Bogotá, and Lima. The challenges Latin American pharma manufacturers face are unique: tropical humidity, ANVISA's evolving RDC 658 framework, currency volatility, and the 30-45 day sea freight delay that European competitors don't account for.
HIJ designs blister packaging machines specifically with these realities in mind — that's why we ship Spanish/Portuguese documentation by default, build for high-humidity environments, and quote in USD with stable pricing.
