Standardized packaging solution for a fast time-to-market
The rise of biologics in the pharmaceutical pipeline, the more rapid market entry of biosimilars, and the pressure to bring new products to market faster — at lower costs — impact fill-and-finish operations. As new drugs are commercialized, manufacturing is scaled up and scaled out, with production occurring parallel across several facilities to supply local markets. This strategy is an important way to derisk the supply chain by reducing reliance on a single, centrally located production line. Key to this strategy, however, is a standardized machine concept that can operate with ready-to-use (RTU) packaging components.
