We bring solutions to life, backed by science
Selecting the right primary container for an injectable drug or passing a device design verification test are crucial steps in the product development process. So, the pressure is on to get it ‘right the first time. We’ve been there. With our Technology Excellence Centers (TEC) we can offer analytical and device testing services to support you all the way, from early-stage to launched combination product
Technology Excellence Centers: understanding, guiding, delivering
2 locations, 1 goal: assisting customers to anticipate challenges and help you navigate the regulatory landscape.
Our Technology Excellence Centers are state-of-the-art facilities located at our headquarters in Italy and in the biotech hub of Boston, US. They cover a range of specialized fields including container closure systems and drug-delivery devices. Our team of 40+ highly skilled professionals, comprising scientists, engineers, pharmaceutical chemists, and biotechnologists are committed to offering their know-how and enthusiasm to turn your project into an achievement.
By being a glass container expert, we can also anticipate challenges and present viable, well-informed solutions to guide you in one of your most critical decisions: choosing the glass container from early-stage formulations to its integration into delivery devices.
