Kenyan Delegation Visits Grand Company-Company News
Summary
GuangZhou, April 18, 2025 (Beijing Time) – In a landmark event for international collaboration, a 30‑member Kenyan delegation visited Grand Company immediately following their participation in the Canton Fair. Led by our President, Bruce Fu, the delegation was warmly received by Grand’s sales and technical teams. This company news marks a significant step in strengthening ties between Grand and one of Africa’s fastest‑growing markets for pharmaceutical packaging solutions.
Upon arrival at Grand’s headquarters in GuangZhou, the Kenyan visitors were greeted with a brief welcome ceremony. Bruce Fu personally welcomed each guest, highlighting Grand’s commitment to quality, innovation, and customer service. “It’s an honor to host such a distinguished group from Kenya,” said Fu. “We look forward to exploring ways our advanced machinery can support your growing pharmaceutical industry.”

Tour of Pharmaceutical Filling Production Line
The first stop on the tour was our state‑of‑the‑art pharmaceutical filling production line. Delegates examined high‑precision filling stations capable of handling a range of liquid viscosities, from water‑thin solutions to more viscous suspensions. Grand’s engineers demonstrated how the line’s servo‑driven pumps and hygienic piping ensure accuracy within ±0.2%, while integrated CIP (clean‑in‑place) systems maintain strict sanitation standards. The delegation showed keen interest in customization options, such as multi‑head filling and automated nozzle calibration, which allow clients to adapt the line for vaccines, injectables, and other sterile products.

Demonstration of Blister Packaging Machine
Next, the group toured the blister packaging area. Our signature blister packaging machine was in full operation, showcasing its rapid changeover capability and precise forming station. Delegates observed how the machine’s adjustable tooling plates handle a wide variety of pack sizes—from single‑dose units to multi‑tablet blisters—without significant downtime. “The versatility of your blister packaging machine is exactly what we need for our diverse product range,” noted Dr. Esther Mwangi, head of the Kenyan pharmaceutical visitors. “We especially appreciate the minimal material waste and the straightforward maintenance procedures.”
Overview of Cartoning Machine Innovations
Grand’s lineup of cartoning solutions was the delegation’s next focus. Our compact, high‑speed cartoning machine demonstrated carton erecting, product insertion, and sealing—all within a footprint of under 3 m². The visitors watched as the machine seamlessly erected flat‑pack cartons, inserted blister packs, and closed the cartons with hot‑melt glue. Features like servo‑controlled belt feeders and error‑detection sensors sparked technical discussions about throughput optimization and compliance with international packaging standards. Delegates took notes on how they might integrate these cartoning systems into their own end‑of‑line operations.
Factory Production Video and Group Exchange
In Grand’s main hall, Bruce Fu and his team presented a live‑action video of the factory floor. The video highlighted full production runs of our pharmaceutical filling, blister packaging, and cartoning machines in action. After the screening, Bruce Fu and the Kenyan delegation gathered for a group photo, cementing the spirit of partnership. Over light refreshments, attendees exchanged ideas on training programs, after‑sales support, and potential pilot projects in Nairobi.
Strengthening Global Partnerships
This visit underscores Grand Company’s position as a leading global provider of pharmaceutical packaging machinery. By showcasing our turnkey solutions—ranging from precise pharmaceutical filling lines and flexible blister packaging machines to efficient, space‑saving cartoning machines—we aim to meet the evolving needs of international clients. “We believe this visit will pave the way for joint ventures and technology transfers that benefit both Grand and our partners in Kenya,” said Fu.
Looking Ahead
Based on the success of this visit, Grand Company will arrange follow-up online seminars and technical consultations. Currently, Grand Company is planning to send an engineer to Nairobi for on-site evaluation and training. Both teams are confident about future cooperation, whether in local drug production, clinical trial packaging, or in establishing a regional service center.
