The Gx RTF vials will be based on the existing quality offerings for vials, such as PharmaPlus and Elite Glass.

By integrating the PharmaPlus and Elite Glass with Ompi EZ-fill packaging solution, Gerresheimer aims to provide one identically packed vial from two suppliers.

“Our solution, which has proved to be scalable, will benefit the customer with more flexibility, increased quality and safety and quicker time to market.”

The Ompi EZ-fill solution is suitable either with small batches, initially at the clinical trials stage, or with industrial production.

Gerresheimer CEO Uwe Röhrhoff said: “Our new portfolio will meet the growing demand for comprehensive solutions.
