Gerresheimer, a global partner to the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries, reports that a “leading” U.S. pharmaceutical company has commissioned Gerresheimer for the production of auto injectors. The drug is prescribed for the treatment of moderate to severe active psoriasis arthritis. Gerresheimer produces the plastic components at the Medical Plastic Systems division’s production site in Kuessnacht, Switzerland.

The auto injector consists of 14 plastic components and three metal parts. Gerresheimer produces the plastic components and joins them with the metal parts to create two sub-assemblies, which are assembled by the customer and loaded with the drug.

The production lines, made by Mikron, were supplied by the customer for reengineering and industrialization.

Gerresheimer developed and produced the required multicavity molds [into] a 650-sq-m, ISO class 8 cleanroom at the Kuessnacht site. Following the qualification of molds and lines, production started in Jan. 2013.
