"Plastics are increasingly gaining in importance within our highly specialized service portfolio for the international pharmaceutical industry," Gerresheimer AG CEO Dr. Axel Herberg says. "The pharmaceutical plastic business has meanwhile become the division with the highest growth rate, which we are continuing to expand systematically. These are crucial investments in the Gerresheimer Group's growth."
The new technological center in Peachtree City (Georgia/USA) is opening up a new dimension for the Group's flourishing business with American industrial clients from the pharmaceutical, diagnostics and medical technology industry. As a full service provider for medical plastic systems, Gerresheimer has upgraded the US location, which has until recently been limited to manufacturing, to become a comprehensively operating research, development and production center. In the American market the Group now has facilities at the front end of its customized serial production of entire product and process development comparable to those only available in Europeup to now.
The newly opened plant in Masalavés in Spain (region of Valencia) is also highly significant with regard to the broad market of standardized pharmaceutical system packaging made of plastics. The plant is deemed to be the biggest production center of its kind in Southern Europe and is a significant strategic base for Gerresheimer there as well as in the Central European region.
