A new Commercial Director for IMA Pharma

Thomas Fricke began his career with IMA in 1992 as Sales Manager at IMA Germany. He later led the same branch as Managing Director. Since 2011, he has also been acting as Sales & Marketing Director for the Pharma Packaging solutions hub, based in Italy. After several years full of successes and achievements in this position, he has recently taken over the role of Commercial Director for the whole IMA Pharma.

“Pharma has always been my main market and I aim to bring my experience and enthusiasm as I support the various sectors of Aseptic Processing and Solid Dose, along with the crucial primary and secondary Packaging. The fundamental challenge is to understand the constantly changing demands of Pharma and to respond proactively. For example, by manufacturing complete lines or installations as a single supplier, IMA Pharma, and integrating sustainable technology and materials. This includes the use of new digital tools for design, production, services and increased efficiency, to name just a few”, Thomas Fricke explained.

Fricke holds a degree in Mechanical Engineering and two years Commercial Education in International Trading. Besides boasting extensive knowledge of the pharmaceutical industry and automatic machinery, as well as proven commercial experience, his career has often seen him working in different countries – particularly Germany and Italy – proving his ability to adapt and succeed in different cultures.

Including three specialised divisions: IMA Active (Solid Dose Solutions), IMA Life (Aseptic Processing & Freeze-Drying Solutions) and IMA Safe (Packaging Solutions), IMA Pharma designs and manufactures automatic machines for the processing and packaging of pharmaceutical products thanks to its high-tech profile and the ability to offer tailor-made solutions to satisfy the most sophisticated requests in the market.
