Gerresheimer establishes small series production in the USA

Pharma and medical technology specialist Gerresheimer has established small series production at its Technical Competence Center at its Peachtree City, Georgia location. Small quantities of products can now be manufactured under series conditions and in ISO class 8 cleanroom.

During the development and approval of pharmaceutical products and medical devices, this kind of small series is regularly needed for clinical samples or stability batches. Prior to series production, pharmaceutical products and medical devices run through an exhaustive approval process for which small numbers of units need to be produced repeatedly, for examples, as clinical samples, development samples or stability batches.

The equipment in small series production currently includes an injection molding machine with a clamping force of 120 tons that connects with handling systems and parts conveyors. Project-specific assembly and packaging units such as granulation, fill & seal plants as well as manual assembly stations, including ultrasonic welding systems, are also available. For quality assurance, small series production has its own fully equipped measurement laboratory with product-specific testing equipment with optical and tactile measuring machines and other testing equipment.
