Düsseldorf/Jakarta, March 07, 2017 – With seven plants, Gerresheimer enjoys a strong position in the South East Asian market for the highly specialist manufacture of glass and plastic products for the pharmaceutical sector. A new factory making vials and ampoules recently went on stream in Kosamba.

“We are the specialist when it comes to vials, ampoules, and cartridges,” says Jens Heymann, Senior Vice President Europe & Asia Tubular Glass. “With our new plant in India and its counterparts in China, we will be able to fully meet demand from the Asian pharma industry for high-quality primary packaging made from tubular glass.” Having a uniform global standard for its state-of-the-art machinery and employees who are trained in the production process ensures that all the workflows in all the plants meet the same standards. “Our zero-defect strategy is based on a ‘product-by-process’ approach. We want our customers to get the same high-quality products from us wherever they are in the world. Which factory they were made in cannot be allowed to have an influence.”
