About AMBEG
AMBEG Dr. J. Dichter GmbH is a family-run mechanical engineering company founded in Berlin in 1926, now in its third generation. The company manufactures machines for the production of primary packaging made from glass tubing, including bottle machines (RP series), syringe machines (FS series), carpule machines (KM 14), tube cutters (RS 8) and after-forming lines. In addition to standard machines, AMBEG develops special-purpose machines tailored to specific customer requirements, including for Christmas decoration blanks, sprinkler plungers, glass bodies for the lamp industry and laboratory glass flasks. Design is carried out at modern 3D CAD workstations; manufacturing takes place in the company's own workshop with CNC machines and a laser cutting system. Since 2023, machines and production lines have been commissioned and tested at the Groß Kienitz plant (Brandenburg). With more than 4,000 machines sold worldwide, AMBEG primarily serves pharmaceutical primary packaging, laboratories and medical technology.
