INTERVIEW #SpeakPharma

[Sponsored by another company]

“We bridge the gap between chemistry and performance to deliver precise, optimized micronization for complex APIs.”

This week, SpeakPharma interviews Stefano Martinoli, Chief Executive Officer of Munit SA, a Swiss company that specializes in micronization of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and other pharmaceutical compounds. Stefano Martinoli discusses Munit’s 60-year legacy, how micronization of APIs has improved therapeutic effects of drugs, and how the group is today a partner in drug development for its more than 150 global customers. He says innovation is a mindset at Munit, which is rooted in adaptability, foresight, and a deep culture of problem-solving. Could you share Munit SA’s journey over the past 60 years and explain how you’ve built such a strong global presence with over 150 customers? Munit’s story is one of innovation and vision. Our entrepreneurial journey began in 1918, rooted in powder handling and particle size engineering. The real breakthrough came in the 1960s, when my father pioneered the Spiral Jet Mill technology. In 1962, at the age of 24, he designed the first Spiral Jet Mill, placing us at the forefront of a field that would later revolutionize pharmaceuticals. Initially, this technology served the fine chemical industry, but in the early 1970s my father foresaw its immense potential for healthcare. He realized that micronization, or the mechanical reduction of particle size of APIs, could directly improve patients’ lives by enhancing APIs’ solubility. Better solubility means faster therapeutic effects and fewer side effects, which are critical advances for patient well-being. Founded in 1978, Microchem pioneered contract micronization in Italy before expanding into Switzerland to better serve global markets. In the late 1990s, we were the first in our field to introduce glove-box isolators for highly potent APIs, setting new safety standards. Today, under the Munit umbrella, Jetpharma (Switzerland) and Microchem (Italy) operate together, offering clients dual-site reliability that reduces supply chain risks and ensures business continuity. Over the decades, this vision has guided us to become more than just a service provider: we are partners in drug development.
