Gerresheimer Essen: new Center of Excellence for making type II glass
Düsseldorf/Paris, January 09, 2020. As a leading provider of specialty pharmaceutical packaging, Gerresheimer also specializes in manufacturing pharmaceutical containers made from type II glass. Two hardening and tempering methods allow extremely small injection bottles as well as typical infusion bottles with larger volumes to be produced. Guaranteeing the quality and hydrolytic resistance of the type II glass is the top priority here. The company is defending its leading position by introducing innovative furnace technology, expanding its cleanroom, and introducing automation and digitalization to its testing and packing lines.
“Our customers want safe, flawless products from us. So, we need to make sure that we have the best possible production process, even before hardening and tempering the inside of the type II glass, by monitoring the situation constantly and intervening where required,” says Silvio Carriço, Senior Product Manager Pharma, Food & Beverage.
