Strong demand from the pharmaceutical and semiconductor sectors leads to expansion of the Chinese sales network
In February 2025, LUM GmbH began a strategic sales partnership with the Chinese company
Alpharmaca Inc., based in Shanghai, in order to meet the strong demand from the
pharmaceutical and semiconductor sectors and also to provide customers with a high level
of local expertise in solving their questions in the area of particle and direct dispersion
characterization and materials testing.
Founded in 2010, Alpharmaca is a resource platform that serves China's industrial 4.0
industrialization and upgrading, introducing leading technologies and products from
abroad. Alpharmaca focuses on the field of nanoscopic technology from the starting point
of the pharmaceutical industry and has a business coverage of biological, pharmaceutical,
chemical, semiconductor, coatings and other industries, as well as universities, research
institutes and other institutions.
Susanne Lerche-Merchant, CEO of LUM GmbH, “With this new partnership, we are
strengthening our market presence in important future industries with specialized expertise
to the benefit of our existing and future customers. With the LUMiSpoc single particle
counter, we offer solutions for particle counting and determination of particle size
distribution for the pharmaceutical industry, which were also used in COVID vaccine
development in Europe, as previously reported.
Grinding and polishing pastes and suspensions and their particle characterization as well
as their stability assessment in the original concentration are extremely important topics in
the semiconductor industry, which determine the “welfare and woe” of, for example, silicon
wafers. We are pleased that the experts at Alpharmaca will be using both the LUMiSpoc and
the LUMiSizer in their application laboratory in a few days to give customers different
perspectives on the samples. The new collaboration is a further step in the continuous
development of our international strategy. “
