AZO Inc., a global leader in bulk material handling and automation, has announced a strategic partnership with rubitec ag, a Swiss engineering company renowned for its precision containment systems. Based in Bennwil, Switzerland, rubitec has decades of experience designing advanced solutions for pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturers where product integrity and operator safety are paramount.
Under this agreement, AZO becomes rubitec’s exclusive business partner for the United States and Canada, expanding access to premium powder-handling and containment technologies across North America.
AZO’s proven expertise in bulk powder automation perfectly complements rubitec’s specialization in high-containment systems. Together, they deliver integrated powder-handling solutions that meet the strictest GMP and ATEX/Ex standards while optimizing throughput, repeatability, and cleaning efficiency.
rubitec’s systems are designed for processes where even trace powder emissions can affect product quality, operator safety, or regulatory compliance. Their innovative containment technology integrates directly into powder transfer, filling, and discharge points, minimizing manual handling and ensuring airtight material transfer between process steps.
By combining Swiss precision engineering with AZO’s automation and service infrastructure, manufacturers gain high-performance, locally supported systems built for long-term reliability.
The AZO and rubitec partnership is built on shared values of quality, trust, and innovation. rubitec, led by CEO Jonas Rubitschung and his brothers Basil and Aaron Rubitschung, maintains a family-driven culture rooted in craftsmanship and long-term relationships, values that mirror AZO’s own heritage.
This alignment strengthens both organizations and expands opportunities for customers seeking turnkey containment and material-handling systems that combine Swiss precision with American reliability.
North American manufacturers can now access rubitec’s advanced systems directly through AZO’s local support and engineering teams. Solutions include:
These modular systems integrate seamlessly into new or existing production environments, improving safety and efficiency while reducing capital costs.
rubitec’s containment approach aligns with AZO’s philosophy of process integration, connecting conveying, dosing, weighing, and containment in a cohesive automated flow. Together, AZO and rubitec deliver end-to-end solutions that:
With AZO’s North American service infrastructure, customers benefit from local installation, validation, and long-term maintenance support.
This partnership represents more than a distribution agreement, it is a shared vision for advancing containment and powder-handling technology across North America.
By uniting engineering excellence, customer focus, and global reach, AZO and rubitec are redefining standards for cleaner, safer, and more efficient manufacturing in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and specialty materials industries.
