TWO PRODUCTION SITES IN FRANCE
Eurotab Operations manufactures for its customers on 2 production sites at Saint-Just-Saint-Rambert in the Loire department (42).
One of the sites is specialised in detergents and moisture absorbers and the second in disinfectants.
The third production site of the Eurotab group is based in Turkey and is run by our subsidiary Eurotab Avrasya, serving the local market and the surrounding geographical area. There are dedicated teams on-site to run production and handle customer service.

MACHINE FLEET
Our fleet of machines operates 24/7 and is run by teams trained in the very specific powder compaction business.
This requires delicate expertise: the tablet must remain solid from whzn it is produced to when it is used, without affecting its dissolution when used.
Eurotab Operations' equipment is divided between two sites and includes 6 detergent lines, 3 moisture absorber lines and 4 bleach disinfection lines to produce to our customers' needs as closely as possible.
The production lines comprise:
- Rotary presses, some of which are capable of up to 1500 tabs/min
- Individual tablet packaging machines (flowrapping)
- Final packaging machines (cardboard boxes, bagging machines, Doypack, case packers

RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Eurotab Operations has an R&D centre entirely dedicated to the innovation and development of our range of tablets, from exploration of concepts to industrialisation.
The team is made up of a Research and Development unit, a Packaging unit, a Purchasing unit and a TR (technical and regulatory) department, all of which are constantly monitoring developments in the sector.
This synergy of skills enables us to be as responsive and innovative as possible, thanks in particular to two unique tools in our field, the TAB LAB and the TEC (Tabletting Expertise Center):
THE TAB LAB, FORMULATION AND PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
THE TEC, PREPARATION FOR INDUSTRIALISATION
This includes all the instruments and equipment needed to develop and characterise the tablet:
- Performance analyses: preparation of competitive profiles with details of performance using standards (IKW, A.I.S.E.) carried out by recognised laboratories (Eurofins, CCTN, RS developpement, IRFAQ, etc.)
- Formulation for the development of the active ingredient composition
- Physical and chemical analyses to characterise the ingredients and the tablet
It has second-to-none equipment, all developed by Eurotab, such as:
- An instrumented laboratory press to study powder behaviour and define tablet process parameters
- A rotary press to show the transition to production and to produce application test tablets
- An instrumented post-processing controller to adjust the tablets to the specific features of the applications
