Düsseldorf/Shanghai August 14, 2018 – Gerresheimer develops and produces innovative drug delivery systems and medical and diagnostic products for prestigious international customers. From September 26 to 28, the full-service provider will be showcasing its range of services at booth H401 in hall 2 of the Medtec China trade fair, which will be hosted at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition center.

Gerresheimer Medical Systems will be using Medtec China as an opportunity to present itself as an international development, industrialization, and production partner for the mass production of injection-moulded plastic components. The company is responsible for every step of the value chain, from planning through to getting the CE-marked product ready for sale. These steps range from concept development, industrial design, product development, equipment design, toolmaking, and special-purpose machine engineering through to small- and large-scale production under FDA/GMP conditions,  assembly, pharmaceutical assembly and filling,  sterilization, and packaging.

Development centers and production sites

At its four global Technical Competence Centers (TCCs) in Dongguan (China), Wackersdorf (Germany), Bünde (Germany), and Peachtree City (U.S.), Gerresheimer prepares plastic medical systems such as insulin pens, inhalers, lancing devices, and auto-injectors for industrial-scale production. The TCCs pool together all of the key cross-divisional functions before the product is sent on for mass production. The project work performed on site or in conjunction with the other sites includes steps such as plastic optimization, series and equipment design, process development, project management, quality planning, toolmaking, automation technology, production preparation, and pilot production.

Gerresheimer Medical Systems has production facilities in China (Dongguan), Europe (Wackersdorf and Pfreimd in Germany and Horšovský Týn in the Czech Republic), North America (Peachtree City), and South America (Indaiatuba, Brazil).
