30 years HWI
30 years ago: On January 8th, 1991, the company was founded by Dr. Stefan Wissel and Prof. Dr. Hanns Häberlein. The two university friends created the name HWI from the first letters of their last names.
Expansion of the Management Team
As of January 1st, 2021, Dr Frank Böttcher will be appointed to the management team of HWI pharma services GmbH and will strengthen the current management team of Dr Stefan Wissel and Dr Melanie Kerst.
You will find further information in our press release.
Innovation and Technology Support
Innovative Screening and Technology Platform
The vast majority of new chemical and biological active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) are poorly soluble in water and physiological media. These active ingredients are difficult for the body to take up and are therefore poorly available at their target site in the body.
HWI plans to establish an innovative screening and technology platform for the fast, flexible and cost-effective development and manufacturing of parenteral (sterile) drug formulations with poorly soluble APIs. We therefore want to further develop nanotechnology for the improvement of bioavailability.
An application for funding for this project was submitted to the Innovation and Technology Support Programme (InnoTop) of the ISB Rhineland-Palatinate. This project will be supported by funding from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
