Buck Systems™, a technologyof GEA Pharma Systems, was founded in 1990 as
Gallay Systems Ltd. The Birmingham-based company was initially established to
meet the specific needs of the Pharmaceutical market.
Since then, it
has expanded its customer base considerably and now supplies and supports
contained materials handling systems all over the world. As a part of its
continued success, the company has developed and introduced new products and
services based on IBC Systems for; Blending, Washing, Discharge and Dosing,
Dispensing and Post Hoists. Today, Buck Systems remains customer focused and
customer driven, and is now clearly established as the market leader in its
field of materials handling, containment and technology.
1997 marked
the introduction of the Buck® split valve into the pharmaceutical plant, which
revolutionised containment in the production process. Since then, developing
the containment technology and its applications further, has enabled Buck
Systems™ to turn what was a high potency production area into a much safer
environment for operators and a more efficient process facility for customers.
Since joining GEA and GEA Pharma Systems (GPS), a more common approach
has also been developed between the GPS companies namely Aeromatic-Fielder™,
Buck®, Collette™, Courtoy™, and GEA Niro, to provide standardised interfaces
enabling simple integration between technologies and equipment. This has
resulted in the creation of the only effective single source supply for Solid
Dosage Form facilities in the industry. This ability and expertise provides the
'Security of Outcome' the market aims to achieve.
