Vetter is expanding its secondary packaging capacity

Global pre-filled drug delivery systems company and packaging expert, Vetter, is expanding its secondary packaging capacity in response to rising customer needs and market demands.

The new expansion, which should be completed over several years, will include new fully-automated packaging lines, space for manual and semi-automated packaging processes and assembly equipment for a wide variety of formats. Additionally, the company’s serialisation and aggregation service will also be expanded.

In addition, the company is adding a flexible syringe blister line with safety device assembly and equipment for packaging that meets Japanese quality standards. Assembly machines for pens and autoinjectors will also allow Vetter to meet a majority of the growing market need for these systems.

“Often we hear from customers that a high level of expertise in the assembly and packaging of pens, autoinjectors and safety devices is critical for their success,” said Bernd Stauss, senior vice president Production/Engineering for Vetter. “Vetter has this experience and can offer a one-stop solution, from development to filling to secondary packaging including serialization of products; a service that is greatly appreciated by our customers.”

This expansion is already underway and is taking place on the second floor of the company’s existing secondary packaging facility. The added space will comprise approximately 32,000 square feet of added capacity.
