Pumps for Pharmaceutical and Biological Industry

We understand and exceed the critical needs of the pharmaceutical industry, including CBD Oil, with our patented, all-in-one pumping solutions.
 

Providing hygienic, all stainless-steel positive displacement pumps to pharmaceutical companies is where UHT got its start more than 30 years ago. We started with the pharmaceutical industry because you have the strictest guidelines and requirements for a pump to meet. A completely hygienic, easy-to-clean pump is critical for drug manufacturing and biotech applications. That’s why our pharmaceutical customers turn to us.
