In a significant move for Egypt’s pharmaceutical industry, OPTEL, a global leader in track-and-trace solutions, has entered into an exclusive partnership with Techno Service, one of Egypt’s foremost industrial systems specialists. The collaboration aims to deliver a fully localized, end-to-end serialization and aggregation solution tailored to the needs of pharmaceutical manufacturers and Third-Party Logistics (3PL) providers in Egypt.
With the August 2026 deadline approaching for compliance with the Egyptian Drug Authority (EDA) Unified National Electronic System for Pharmaceutical Track and Trace, manufacturers across Egypt are under increasing pressure to implement reliable serialization and aggregation systems.
This partnership is designed to address that challenge head-on. By combining OPTEL’s globally proven technology platform—deployed on more than 8,000 production lines in over 50 countries—with Techno Service’s in-depth local engineering and regulatory expertise, the two companies are offering a compliant, cost-effective solution supported entirely within Egypt.
The result: advanced global technology delivered with local integration, service, and 24/7 technical support.
Historically, pharmaceutical manufacturers in Egypt have faced a difficult choice. They could opt for locally available systems that sometimes lacked advanced capabilities, or invest in international platforms that did not offer strong in-country support.
The OPTEL–Techno Service partnership removes this compromise. Manufacturers now have access to a globally deployed, regulation-ready platform backed by local engineering teams who understand the operational realities of Egypt’s pharmaceutical landscape.
Louis Roy, CEO of OPTEL, emphasized the importance of reliability under production pressure. Serialization and aggregation systems must operate with high availability and stability, ensuring compliance without disrupting throughput. The collaboration ensures that Egyptian manufacturers can meet EDA requirements while maintaining operational efficiency.
A key focus of the collaboration is enabling both manual and automated aggregation workflows. For many manufacturers and 3PL providers in Egypt, aggregation remains a critical operational component.
The solution is designed to manage complex packaging hierarchies and integrate seamlessly into existing production environments. By minimizing disruption, the partnership allows companies to modernize their compliance infrastructure without overhauling their entire operation.
Founded in 1997, Techno Service brings decades of experience deploying and supporting regulated industrial systems in Egypt. Its engineering team will lead system integration and provide ongoing service and support locally.
Dr. Mahmoud Othman of Techno Service noted that OPTEL stood out in the global track-and-trace landscape for both the scale of its deployments and its strong reputation in regulated pharmaceutical markets. With OPTEL’s established international footprint and compliance expertise, Egyptian manufacturers gain access to a trusted platform already validated in highly regulated environments worldwide.
OPTEL’s track-and-trace and vision systems have supported pharmaceutical manufacturers globally for over 30 years. By partnering with a trusted local expert, the company reinforces its long-term commitment to delivering compliant solutions tailored to regional regulatory frameworks.
As the 2026 compliance deadline approaches, this partnership represents more than a technology rollout—it signals a strategic alignment between global innovation and local expertise. For Egypt’s pharmaceutical industry, it offers a practical pathway to regulatory readiness, operational efficiency, and supply chain transparency.
