WILCO AG

Inspection systems for manufactured products

WILCO AG develops equipment for leak detection and visual inspection. The company says it has operated from the Swiss Midlands for fifty years and supplies customers worldwide. Its catalogue is aimed especially at regulated packaging and pharmaceutical production, where a container may need to be checked for integrity and visible defects before release.

Laboratory and automated inspection

The product range includes laboratory testers for small- and large-volume parenterals, blister packs and other containers. Automated systems address vials, syringes, BFS bottles, IV bags and pouches. WILCO also lists headspace analysis, near-infrared inspection for freeze-drying defects, and inline leak testing for metal cans. The distinction between lab testing and production-line systems is important: the required throughput, container format and acceptance method determine the suitable equipment.

From specification to service

The website offers solution design, lab services, project management, qualification documentation, installation, commissioning and customer service. Prospective customers can request a discussion about a particular use case and validation requirements. Its site refers to multiple markets and machine types, but a buyer needs a written specification covering the product, method sensitivity, line speed and records required. WILCO’s sales team can help match a testing method to the container and production line.
