About


History

Poseidon Pharmaceutical UK Limited was established in 2016 following the successful acquisition of Orbit Pharmaceutical Equipment Limited by The Parkhill Group, based in Shropshire. Orbit, a Staffordshire-based company, had built a strong reputation for its expertise in sourcing, remanufacturing, and supplying pre-owned pharmaceutical machinery. The Parkhill Group saw an opportunity to expand into this specialised sector and amalgamated Orbit into the newly formed Poseidon Pharmaceutical UK Limited. 

Following the acquisition, Poseidon relocated to a 12,500-square foot commercial unit at one of The Parkhill Group’s business parks in Telford, Shropshire. The facility was refitted to a bespoke specification to support the company's operational needs, including dedicated offices, workshops, a showroom, testing zones, and storage areas. 

 Today, Poseidon is now based at the Parkhill Group office based near Newport, Telford and continues to invest in expanding its capabilities and equipment range, offering reliable and cost-effective machinery solutions to pharmaceutical manufacturers both in the UK and internationally.



We Sell Machinery

At Poseidon Pharmaceutical UK Limited, we specialise in the supply of high-quality reconditioned machinery tailored to a wide range of sectors, including pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, vitamin, cosmetic, personal care, household, industrial chemicals, food and beverage, oils, veterinary, and pet care, among others. 


 Our stock typically includes both individual machines and complete production lines for processing and packaging liquids, pastes, and powders, as well as equipment for capsule and tablet production. From mixers and granulators to fillers, labellers, cappers, and blister packing machines, all our equipment is carefully sourced and expertly reconditioned to ensure reliable, efficient performance. 

 Whether you're upgrading a single part of your operation or installing an entire line, Poseidon offers practical, cost-effective solutions backed by industry knowledge and technical expertise.



We Buy Machinery

Poseidon Pharmaceutical UK Limited offers a professional and discrete service for purchasing redundant or surplus machinery, especially from factory closures or operational downscaling. The process begins with a careful evaluation—either remotely or via an on-site visit—to assess the suitability of the equipment. Once terms are agreed, full paperwork is completed, and collection is arranged for smaller items that can be easily removed, transferring ownership to Poseidon promptly. 


For larger or more complex assets, Poseidon often uses a consignment-style arrangement. The equipment remains the client’s property until sold, but is relocated to their facility where all making-ready work—including insurance and marketing—is handled in-house. Sales progress is reviewed at regular intervals (typically 3 and 6 months), and once sold, funds are transferred and ownership passes to Poseidon. This approach frees up valuable space, avoids disruption, and ensures the process is handled sensitively and professionally from start to finish.
