The demand for modular construction solutions as an alternative to conventional fixed construction has increased strongly in recent years. However, this construction method, which is considered cheaper, faster and more flexible, also presents manufacturers with challenges in their quality assurance.

Various well-known pharmaceutical and food manufacturers already rely on the quality of ThoMar OHG. Thanks to a new strategic partnership, we can now offer customers from these demanding industries an even wider range of products: in addition to the well-known desiccant bags, we can now also offer desiccants in the form of capsules, canisters and tablets.

ThoMar OHG has specialised in the development, manufacture and sale of desiccant bags and dehumidifiers since 1999 and has been ISO 9001 certified since 2012. We develop individual desiccant solutions for customers with the highest requirements in terms of product, location, process, support and quality, which are precisely tailored to their needs. Headquartered in Germany and as part of a manufacturer network with production facilities in the USA and China, we reliably deliver the required quality.

With the current expansion of our product range, we want to further expand our presence in the German-speaking desiccant market and position ourselves even more strongly as a specialist for dehumidification within packaging, particularly in the pharmaceutical, diagnostics, medical technology and food sectors. You can find an overview of the ThoMar service package described above on our new website pharma-food.thomar.de/en. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at any time. Together we will keep your goods dry.

The industry standard DIN 55473 serves to create a uniform assessment standard for the performance of desiccant bags for use in packaging with low water vapour permeability. Only those adsorptive desiccants in water vapour-permeable bags that have been confirmed at regular intervals by an official body as complying with the requirements of DIN 55473 may bear the "DIN tested" seal.

Just under 160,000 Germans emigrated to a non-EU country in 2021, according to Statista ("Immigration and emigration in EU countries 2021", 3 January 2024). Destinations included Switzerland and Norway, but also faraway countries such as the USA, Australia, China and Canada. Such a big move overseas needs to be carefully prepared. In our latest article "How to protect relocation goods from moisture damage with desiccants", we provide valuable tips to prevent moisture damage to the cargo. In this way, you protect your entire household goods during the weeks- to months-long transfer in the container through different climate zones. As a result, nothing will soon stand in the way of an unclouded start in your dream country.

Whether long timber, short timber, solid wood, wood-based materials or even a complete wooden house: wood of all kinds is exported and imported in large quantities, some of it in freight containers. At the same time, wood is a particularly sensitive cargo, as it reacts directly to fluctuations in ambient humidity, among other things. Read here how a wood processing company protects sawn timber in transport racks from moisture damage during the weeks-long transfer period.
