Andernach, October 1, 2026 – LTS Lohmann Therapie-Systeme AG (LTS) today officially opened its new innovation center, InnoVerse, at the company’s site in Andernach, Germany. Following three years of construction and an investment of approximately EUR 40 million, the new facility provides state-of-the-art development and pilot-scale areas, pilot production equipment, and dedicated space for interdisciplinary collaboration. The InnoVerse has also been designed with future growth in mind. In addition to the areas currently in use, the facility offers substantial space for further expansion.
The ribbon cutting ceremony marked the official launch of InnoVerse. Together with employees, representatives from politics, business and science, as well as the project partners involved, LTS celebrated the successful completion of this forward-looking project and highlighted the opportunities the new innovation center will create for customers, partners and patients.

“The new InnoVerse Center sends a strong signal for Andernach and for Rhineland-Palatinate as a center of innovation. It brings together scientific knowledge and industrial application, creating the foundation for turning innovation into market-ready solutions.As a state government, we are committed to actively supporting developments such as this.
