Gerresheimer will be showcasing innovative glass and plastic packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical industry in the Innopack exhibition area at CPhI Paris from October 7 to 9, 2014. The comprehensive product range extends from simple pharmaceutical vials to complex drug delivery systems. Two Gerresheimer experts will also be giving presentations on ready-to-fill sterile syringes on October 7.

This year’s CPhI venue is the Paris Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre. Gerresheimer’s booth is number G55 in Hall 2.

Syringe systems

Increasingly complex and varied requirements of the healthcare market -especially physicians and patients - on the pharmaceutical and healthcare industry have driven up demand for different syringe systems. The Gerresheimer Group offers a comprehensive and innovative portfolio of pharmaceutical primary packaging products and is one of the leading experts in the development and manufacture of syringes made from glass and COP. One of its flagship product lines is the Gx RTF sterile syringe systems.

The qualities of these syringe systems will be highlighted by Bernd Zeiss, Technical Presales Support Manager at Gerresheimer Syringe Systems, in his presentation at 3 p.m. on October 7. He will also be explaining why the syringe systems are ideal for biotech and ophthalmology applications, and for home use.

Customized plastic systems

As a full-service provider, Gerresheimer Medical Plastic Systems has a portfolio covering all stages of the development and production process. It develops complex, customer-specific plastic systems for pharmaceutical and medical technology applications. Drug delivery systems enable simple and fast medication administration. Inhalers, pens and syringes are examples of plastic drug delivery systems. Gerresheimer also manufactures and assembles components for a range of laboratory analysis systems and tests performed at medical practices and in hospitals, as well as skin-prick aids and lancets for diabetics.

Plastic containers and closures for solid and liquid pharmaceuticals

Gerresheimer Plastic Packaging specializes in plastic packaging products for the pharma industry. Its multifaceted 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.

It also manufactures a special product for parenteral drugs called the MultiShell vial, which is made of COP (Cyclic Olefin Polymer). Although the vials have glass-like transparency, they also have a far higher break-resistance than glass, which makes them very safe to use. They are suitable for parenteral medications with a wide pH range and ideal for pharmaceutical drugs and formulations which attack the surface of the glass, causing particles to form.

Glass primary packaging

Gerresheimer plays a leading role in the glass sector as specialist for primary glass packaging made from molded and tubular glass. The Gerresheimer Group manufactures glass tubes and shape them into pharmaceutical vials, ampoules and cartridges in numerous filling sizes and designs for many pharmaceutical applications.

Gerresheimer Moulded Glass manufactures high-quality injection and infusion bottles as well as dropper and tablet bottles of various types, shapes and sizes in glass categories I, II and III.
