Packaged well for better healthcare

Entscheidend für die hohe Qualität der Gx Elite Vials ist deren proprietäre Fertigungstechnik. / The Gx Elite vials’ high quality standard hinges on the proprietary technology used to make them.

Gerresheimer’s presence at CPhl North America focused on glass and plastic primary packaging for solid and liquid drugs. The company will manufacture its well-known US type “Triveni” solid dosage containers and US eye dropper bottle systems at Centor in Berlin, Ohio, in a very near future. Part of the Gerresheimer Group since 2015, Centor is a leading manufacturer of plastic containers for prescription-only drugs destined for end users in the U.S.

“From May, we will be making two products that are in high demand in the U.S. in North America itself. We have already installed and tested our production lines,” said Franck Langet, Business Development Manager North America, who will be on hand at CPhI North America to advise customers and visitors together with his team. In future, eye-drop bottles will be manufactured in Ohio under clean room conditions and with a fixed TE ring in accordance with the new FDA regulations, while Triveni dosing containers for tablets will also be produced there under the same conditions.

Eye droppers with a fixed TE ring

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now stipulates that the TE-ring must be firmly attached to the bottle to protect the original contents. Gerresheimer’s US type drop bottle comes fitted with a TE-ring that is fixed in place on the bottle. The existing “European type” bottle system has been slightly modified to comply with the US market requirements. The dimensions, properties, and material remains however the same and minimize change control procedures. The bottle and the dropper are made from LDPE and the cap from HDPE. The US type dropper bottles can therefore be used for stability tests.

HDPE round containers for the U.S. market

Our “Triveni” containers have been specifically developed to meet the requirements of the U.S. market. The round HDPE containers are equipped with the tried-and-tested induction sealing liner to serve as TE protection and are available in among others 30, 50, 60, 75, and 100 ml sizes.
