With over 70 years of experience in glass production, Stevanato Group, through its historic Ompi brand, is currently the market leader in cartridge manufacturing.
Our portfolio of cartridges ranges from 1mL to 20mL formats, suitable for both liquid and powder formulations thanks to by-pass and multi-bypass engineering. Large-volume cartridges and dual chamber cartridges are also available in a wide range of formats.
Our highly-accurate glass converting process includes:
With complete control of the forming conditions and through continuous product improvements, Stevanato Group can ensure:
The presence of surface flaws can reduce the overall strength of glass containers. When applying a load (e.g. during injection with a pen injector) the defect could trigger a failure in the glass leading to the breakage of the whole component. This can have serious implications for both the patient and pharmaceutical company.
Stevanato Group has launched Nexa® 3x Cartridges, a full range of products that offer up to 3 times the mechanical resistance when compared to a standard glass container. Thanks to an external anti-friction and anti-scratches silicone coating, Nexa® 3x better withstands the stresses of fill/finish processes too.

The EZ-fill® platform has been developed in close collaboration with equipment manufacturers in response to the need for increased operational flexibility.
Thanks to the unique layout of secondary packaging, EZ-fill® maximizes filling efficiency by allowing different combinations of filling nozzles. From incoming material to final product shipment, every aspect of the filling process can be streamlined with EZ-fill®.
Over the last 12 years, more than 250 lines have been installed using EZ-fill® packaging technology. The platform has been adopted by 30 global filling machine producers and has been applied on 80 different machine models.
Fina® cartridges are available in bulk format and are suitable for liquid or lyophilized drugs.
Fina® cartridges have dimensional and cosmetic AQL levels based on ISO 13926-1 (Pen Systems) and 11040-1 (Glass cylinders for dental anesthetic cartridges) regulatory requirements and are compliant with PH.Eur., USP and JP for applicable parts. The highly flexible design can be customized for specific applications upon customer request.

The cartridge system comprises a glass barrel, a plunger and a lined cap (aluminum cap + lined rubber) or a vial crimp (aluminum cap + rubber stopper). Depending on the application and fill-finish process, the stoppers and caps vary in sizes, formulation, and design.
Working with the best-in-class manufacturers and an expert team, Stevanato Group is able to determine and supply the most adequate solution depending on the final application of the injection.
Lined Caps (for Cartridges from 1mL to 3mL)
Front Stoppers and Alu-Caps (for Large Volume Cartridges from 5mL to 20mL)
