About ZETA

The ZETA Group is an end-to-end solution provider operating globally and specializing in the design, construction, automation, digitization and qualification of customer-specific biopharmaceutical systems for aseptic process solutions.

ZETA provides support after commissioning of the process equipment through targeted ramp-up as well as service and maintenance along the entire product lifecyle. True to the principle of continuous improvement, ZETA guides customers during process and system optimization as well as operator training.
