I’m Oliver Gottlieb,

A passionate Engineer & SME who finds inspiration in realising challenging tasks.

I have a Master in Chemical Engineering – Process Engineer from the Technical University of Karlsruhe (TU)/Germany & I graduated in 2002. Since then am I working mainly in the regulated (GMP) industry. First as a project Manager and Process Specialist for Pharmaceutical equipment at Hüttlin, now part of Syntegon group (here Fluid Beds and high Shear Mixers). After that I moved for a few years into Pharmaceutical Manufacturing of Oral Solid Dosage forms at Ferring Pharmaceuticals in St. Prex, Switzerland. After that I moved in 2007 to Denmark, to Join NNE, NovoNordisk Engineering . There I developed the taste for difficult challenges and trouble shooting. I also developed more my interest in High Containment. I am regarded globally andin the Nordics as a SME for High Containment, Chemical API/Synthesis Processes & Manufacturing, solids handling, OSD Processes & Manufacturing.

In april 2024 I founded PCS / PharmaConService as a Pharma High Containment Service and Pharma Consulting Service business to cater Pharmaceutical manufacturing companies, R&D Labs, CDMO’s, CDRO’s and equipment suppliers. In end of March 2026 I left NNE and started working full time in my own company.

I support mainly equipment and interface suppliers in realising difficult tasks around high containment. This can include creating containment GAP analysis, Containment strategies, optimising and/or implementing containment equipment or interfaces for clients in needs as well as fitting the GMP requirements met in those environments. I am not shy to tell if something seems edgy and is not according standards. Currently I focus mainly on Europe, meaning the European Union, United Kingdom and Switzerland. Other areas are possible, based on case to case considerations and on special conditions. I can utilise a network of extrem capable engineers and engineering companies if you require that.

I am a member of the ISPE DACH COP CON – Containment Steering committee and was also a Co-Author of the ISPE DACH Containment Manual 2nd edition and the ISPE DACH Containment Manual English edition. Further more am I part of the ISPE COP CON international were I was also Co-Autor of the ISPE Global Practice Guide – Containment of Potent Compounds and the SMEPAC Update that was released end of 2024.

• so if you need to know first hand the stuff that is about High Containment – feel free to ask me for help …
• I am probably THE „GO TO“ contact in the Nordic countries with regards to High Containment.
