Tailor-made product solutions for the highest requirements

SCHOTT Igar Glass in Indonesia is the pharmaceutical packaging center of SCHOTT forma vitrum in Asia. It ranks as the largest manufacturer of primary pharmaceutical packaging products in Southeast Asia and mainly supplies its products to Asia and Australia. The site was built in 2002 and produces around 750 million ampoules, vials and pipettes per year.



The “TopLine department” in Indonesia produces tailor-made product solutions for the highest requirements. The state-of-the-art manufacturing lines are equipped with the latest technology and provide six-sigma quality for dimensional parameters and zero defects for critical cosmetic aspects. High quality standards are assured with ISO 9001:2000 and full compliance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice). Quality assurance is not dependent on human inspection but relies on sophisticated visual inspection technology which is far more reliable.



The Automated Inspection System (AIS) by SCHOTT forma vitrum is a proprietary, highly sensitive visual inspection technology, developed in close cooperation with a leading Swiss university over more than a decade. It assures the reliable classification of smallest defects by type, size and even the position of the defect on all key surfaces of the container. AIS is a validated and fully integrated system for inline process control and optimization.



To ensure that the demands of the exigent Asian customers are understood and executed correctly, Hiro Maruyama, Quality Manager from Japan, was hired. “With the support of a specially-trained team”, says Maruyama, “we will ensure consistently high quality, stable processes and a service philosophy oriented towards Japanese business practices.”
