History

Werner Glatt, the pioneer of fluid bed technology 
 
In 1959, a mere five years after having established his company in Binzen, Werner Glatt and his twelve employees designed and manufactured their first fluid bed machine for the pharmaceutical industry. His aim to continuously improve the state-of- the-art and his credo of having only satisfied customers remain part of the Glatt company’s success today.
