Gerresheimer is exhibiting at Stand 45 in Pavilion 1 at Taropak in the Polish city of Poznan from October 8-11, 2012, where it will be presenting its comprehensive product portfolio for the pharmaceutical industry, from simple pharmaceutical vials to complex drug delivery systems.
Many of the special containers and application systems are manufactured by the company’s Polish subsidiary, Gerresheimer Boleslawiec. This year, the production facility that Gerresheimer took over 15 years ago is celebrating its 60th anniversary.
Today, it is a highly specialised facility and the place where the Gerresheimer MultiShell® Vial, which won the German Packaging Award in 2011, was developed. The vials have an innovative design based on a combination of COP (Cyclic Olefin Polymer) and polyamide. The polyamide layer functions as an oxygen barrier that protects the oxidation-sensitive parenteral drug. The special multi-layer design of the MultiShell® vials with a polyamide core layer improves their safety and prevents leakages even when they are exposed to extraordinarily high mechanical loads.
“Demand is growing in Eastern Europe for high-quality, application-friendly system products. Our production plant in the Polish town of Boleslawiec enables us to bring our development and manufacturing operations close to our customers," said Michal Malkowski, CEO of Gerresheimer Boleslawiec.
The Tubular Glass Division is presenting a range of prefillable syringes, including its flagship RTF® sterile syringes. Tubular glass is the input material for a comprehensive range of high quality pharmaceutical vials, ampoules and cartridges in numerous filling sizes and design variants.
Gerresheimer Plastic Packaging specializes in plastic packaging products for the pharma industry. Its comprehensive product portfolio extends from plastic packaging products for solid pharmaceuticals such as drugs and powders to containers for liquid drugs, including ophthalmic and rhinological applications.
