Gollmann operations to stay
July 23, 2010
THE appointment of
administrators to Guild-endorsed
pharmacy automation supplier
Gollmann Bouw (PD Wed) is part of
a restructure which will see the firm
continue operating here under a
new business model, according to
the company’s German partner
Daniell Gollmann.
Gollmann is the founder and
chairman of pharmacy robotics
manufacturer Gollmann
Kommissionersysteme, and told PD
that the change follows recent
rapid growth for the operations
here, with multiple systems installed
and “future customised projects
committed.
“Gollmann recognised that
significant additional investment
would be required to meet the
operational expansion across the
market place,” he said.
“The local distributor found
significant challenges in raising the
required capital to meet the growth
requirements,” Gollmann added.
The company called Gollmann
Bouw Pty Ltd has been placed into
administration, but just last week
another company was formed
named Gollmann Automated
Dispensaries Pty Ltd.
The directors of Gollmann Bouw
are Gollmann himself and Mark
Bouw, while the directors of the new
company are pharmacist Jennifer
Milner from Benalla, Vic and
German-based Iwan Zwick.
Gollmann said that the new
company is committed long term to
the Australian market, and
customers will continue to receive
factory trained technical support.
The Gollmann Bouw website has
not yet been updated with the new
information, and continues to list
Gollmann Bouw Pty Ltd as the
operating company, headed up by
md Mark Bouw, despite it being
placed into administration.
Until earlier this week the
Pharmacy Guild continued to list
Gollmann Bouw as its endorsed
pharmacy automation supplier, but
since PD’s report on Wednesday the
company has now been removed
from the Gold Cross website.
