In the pharmaceutical industry, precision and safety are essential. When Mint Pharm, a Serbian pharmaceutical company, was looking for a reliable way to create a sterile, contamination-controlled environment for its production, Termovent was the first choice. Mint Pharm is a leading manufacturer of capsules and dietary supplements, headquartered in Bačka Palanka, Serbia. The company delivers high-quality products and services, backed by more than 14 years of experience and trusted raw-material suppliers.
With many years of experience in designing and building clean rooms, Termovent has earned a reputation as a reliable partner to the pharmaceutical industry. The Mint Pharm clean room project started on 7 June 2021 and ran until 15 November 2022. Throughout that period, our team of engineers and installers built the clean rooms to Mint Pharm's specific requirements. Drawing on our clean room know-how, we organised the project successfully and delivered the agreed results. Termovent worked on this project together with Termoinženjering.
The first step was to produce detailed technical documentation in REVIT, an advanced design software. REVIT allowed us to visualise the space and optimise the equipment layout before physical construction began. This digital simulation let us identify potential issues in advance and resolve them before any materials were committed.
Once the technical documentation was complete, equipment procurement followed. All materials supplied for the project were of high quality and met pharmaceutical standards. A key feature of the project was full customisation of the clean rooms to Mint Pharm's needs and to the building's own contours.
Using REVIT, we developed a solution that matched the client's requirements perfectly. Our standard panels made of 0.8 mm galvanised steel sheet in RAL 9016 ensured durability and corrosion resistance – vital in a sterile environment.
Together with Termoinženjering, through precise control of temperature, humidity and airflow, we achieved Class D, ISO 8, meeting strict pharmaceutical standards. Throughout the project, our team worked closely with Mint Pharm and Termoinženjering. Communication was key to agreeing room dimensions, additional door and panel fittings and other details. Every challenge that arose was carefully addressed and overcome, thanks to the dedication and expertise of our team.
Nikola Ciganović, Architecture Department Manager in the Clean Room Engineering division and one of the key people on the project, expressed his satisfaction with the results we achieved.
“This project was exceptionally inspiring and meaningful for me – working on it with colleagues from Termovent and Termoinženjering. It was a pleasure to work with my Termovent colleagues, with installation manager Radovan Bogdanović and installers Nenad Kolicić, Goran Funtunjerović, Nenad Pirojević, Damir Adamović, Miloš Petrović, Veljko Tomić, Robert Bajić, Bora Pralić, Igor Mitrović, Nebojša Vladušić and Srđan Stingić. Thanks to the cooperation of all the teams, we delivered clean rooms that fully met Mint Pharm's needs. I am proud of the results and of our ability to provide top-level support to the pharmaceutical industry.”

Termovent also contributed to the Mint Pharm project by manufacturing and supplying air handling units. In cooperation with Termoinženjering, 5 Termovent AHUs of the Hygienic and Standard types were delivered, with a total airflow of 123,895 m³/h.
We also spoke with Saša Milanović, Head of Maintenance at Mint Pharm, who said:
“We are extremely pleased with the work. Cooperation with Termovent and Termoinženjering on this project was very successful, and the clean rooms fully meet our requirements and pharmaceutical industry standards. We thank all the specialists who invested their effort and dedication in delivering this project.”
Termovent continues to set standards in clean room construction for the pharmaceutical industry. We believe every project is an opportunity to demonstrate our expertise, commitment and ability to recognise and meet our clients' specific requirements.
We look back on this project with pride and look forward to new challenges and opportunities for cooperation. In the pharmaceutical industry, where top quality, safety and precision are expected, Termovent is one of the leaders in clean room construction. With more than three decades of experience, Termovent has earned a reputation as a reliable partner delivering first-class solutions and exceptional expertise.
