Having already been recognised with the kununu Top Company badges for 2024 and 2025, PharmaKorell has now also received the kununu “Top Rated 2025 Salary Satisfaction” award, an accolade achieved by only around 3% of all companies on kununu.

It recognises employers whose employees rate pay and benefits particularly highly over an extended period.

PharmaKorell continues to grow and is seeking qualified professionals for its Munich and Lörrach locations. Feel free to contact us with any questions: bewerbung@pharmakorell.com.

PharmaKorell will be present at CPHI Frankfurt from 28 to 30 October. Here is a snapshot from our recent CPHI preparation meeting. Our team consisting of Dr Benedikt Ball, Dr Frank Wienen and Dr Ulrich Korell will be attending the following sessions, among others:

The reliable supply of clinical trial materials has been one of PharmaKorell’s core competencies for many years.

PharmaKorell has been awarded the kununu Top Company badge for the second year in a row.

Only about 5% of companies qualify for this badge each year, which makes this recognition all the more meaningful to us. Our average rating of 4.5 significantly exceeds the industry average in the medical/pharmaceutical sector (3.5) and consulting (3.9). Our employees particularly value career and development opportunities, our working environment, company culture, as well as topics such as equal opportunities and appreciation towards senior team members.

Our employees frequently highlight the following benefits: Company car, flexible working hours, home office, company phone, parking, accessibility, and regular team events. We are especially pleased that 90% are satisfied with their salary.

We continue to grow and are looking for new talent! We are always interested in qualified new colleagues for our sites in Lörrach and Munich. Feel free to reach out to us for an informal chat if you would like to learn more about your opportunities at PharmaKorell.

This year, our team outing took us to the Swiss Museum of Transport in Lucerne, the most visited museum in Switzerland and an inspiring place for anyone with an interest in mobility, technology and communication. After travelling together from Lörrach and Munich, we began the day with an engaging guided tour, which provided an overview of the museum’s impressive collection of locomotives, cars, aircraft and ship models, while also offering insights into Switzerland’s history of innovation.

After our lunch together, the afternoon allowed space for individual exploration: some of us explored the planetarium with its interactive journey through the solar system, while others were fascinated by the “Space Transformer”, which creates the sensation of weightlessness. The Swiss Chocolate Adventure, which brings the world of cocoa and chocolate production to life, was also a highlight for many.

However, the most valuable aspect was the shared experience and the personal exchange within the team, which, away from our usual working environment, opened up new perspectives and ideas.

We are pleased to welcome Dr Jens Lipka to PharmaKorell as Senior Consultant at our Munich office.

Jens brings with him extensive experience in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly in quality assurance and manufacturing. After several years working as a pharmacist in Munich, he took on his first leadership role in manufacturing at Fresenius Kabi.

He then joined STADAPHARM GmbH, where he served as Deputy Head of QA & QC and later as Head of Quality Systems & Compliance and Qualified Person. Before joining PharmaKorell, he was Head of Quality Systems at Takeda in Germany. 

Jens also has a strong academic background. He is a licensed pharmacist and holds a PhD in pharmaceutical technology from Philipps-University Marburg. To get to know him a little better, we asked Jens a few questions in a short interview:

What are the top three highlights of your career so far?

The key milestones in my career include earning my PhD in Natural Sciences, being appointed as a Qualified Person under the German Medicines Act (AMG) along with taking on a leadership role in quality assurance, and my current position as Senior Consultant at PharmaKorell.

What’s the best advice or life lesson you’ve ever received, and how does it influence your work? 

“It’s always worth looking beyond your own horizon” – both professionally and personally, this has proven to be great advice. Understanding more than just your own area allows you to better grasp the bigger picture and make more informed decisions. In team settings, this perspective also helps in understanding the needs and approaches of others, leading to more constructive and effective collaboration.

How were your first weeks at PharmaKorell, and what are you most looking forward to in your new role?

My first weeks at PharmaKorell have been very positive. I received a warm welcome and everything was well prepared for my arrival. The team is very collegial, and I’ve already started contributing to some projects. I’m particularly looking forward to applying my knowledge and expertise to upcoming assignments and seeing them through to successful completion.

CPHI China 2025 was once again a great success!

We had many constructive discussions with our valued existing and prospective clients and were happy to celebrate our partner companies BrightGene and Lunan on receiving their Internationalization Awards.

Chinese companies looking to expand into the European pharmaceutical market will find a reliable point of contact in PharmaKorell. We are currently supporting ten Chinese clients with company formation, regulatory compliance, QP Declaration , EU import and batch certification .

With our experienced team, including a specialist for intercultural communication and translations, we are well positioned to support business between China and Europe.

A heartfelt thank you to all the partners and contacts we had the pleasure of meeting at CPHI China. We look forward to staying in touch via LinkedIn and WeChat and of course to seeing some familiar faces again at CPHI Europe!

Ten Chinese pharmaceutical companies were recognised at CPHI China for their successful international expansion – Lunan Pharmaceutical Group Corporation and BrightGene Bio-Medical Technology Co., Ltd. are two of them.

We congratulate our long-standing clients on receiving the Leading Enterprises of Pharma Internationalization award – a remarkable success that we were honoured to contribute to as their European consulting partner.

Dr Frank Wienen and Dr Ulrich Korell have been exploring the CPHI exhibition grounds in Shanghai since yesterday morning.

“How’s it going?” the team back at the office asks.

Frank Wienen reports directly from Shanghai: “We are especially impressed by the superb organisation and the international atmosphere: more than 3,500 exhibitors, busy activity at every stand and a lively, professional and open exchange among experts from all over the world. We have already made initial contacts with potential new customers; today our schedule is filled with meetings with existing clients. One thing is clear – PharmaKorell will certainly be back next year.”

Our schedule for this week’s CPHI in China is taking shape.

Among other engagements, Dr Ulrich Korell and Dr Frank Wienen will be attending the following events:

• CPHI Pharmaceutical Innovation and Development Forum 2025
• 2025 CPHI International Regulatory Agencies Updates and Q&A Session
• 10th CPHI Biopharmaceuticals Outlook Summit

While some meetings have already been confirmed, there is still room to explore synergies and engage in interesting conversations. Ulrich and Frank will be in China until Friday, 27 June.
