"Glass is the material of choice for the pharmaceutical industry when it comes to packing drugs. Nevertheless, the demands on packaging are rising rapidly, mainly due to more stringent regulations by the health authorities. By sharing our knowledge of glass with companies in the pharmaceutical industry, we help them to use glass more effectively," Boltres describes her motivation for writing the book.



SCHOTT Group has been working with specialty glass for pharmaceutical packaging for over 100 years now. Back in 1911, the company founder Otto Schott developed the borosilicate glass FIOLAX^® that has become the gold standard for glass packaging in the pharmaceutical industry. This glass is extremely chemically resistant and therefore ideally suited for use in pharmaceutical packaging. SCHOTT also manufactures more than 9 billion vials, syringes, ampoules and cartridges out of FIOLAX^® specialty glass every year.
