Strengthened value propositions represent the latest step in SGD Pharma’s commitment to continuous improvement

Puteaux Cedex, FRANCE – 23 March 2021: SGD Pharma, a leading supplier of glass primary packaging in the pharmaceutical industry and global expert in Type I molded glass, introduces an industry first offering of Type I molded glass vials. These market-driven value propositions represent the latest step in SGD Pharma’s ongoing improvements to its product offers and services. According to their specific business and parenteral drug requirements, Pharma and Biotech players would not only benefit from SGD Pharma’s enhanced high quality and reliable products, but also from an extended offer, ranging from Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) optimization to the highest levels of services.

 

SGD Pharma has strategically organized its parenteral Type I molded glass offer into three tailored value propositions – AXpert®, AXecure® and AXess® – from which pharmaceutical manufacturers can easily choose, meeting their diverse drug product requirements and aseptic manufacturing constraints:

  • AXpert is designed for the most demanding and costly drugs that require the highest levels of quality and integrity, for applications such as oncology and specialty care. By providing access to advanced and personalized support and service at all times, AXpert protects your high value drug products, with total quality assurance and a range of premium value-added offerings.
     
  • AXecure delivers built-in flexibility to cover all needs, with a wide range of superior quality vials for a diverse set of applications. AXecure is the standard for parenteral applications with an entirely customizable offering, from glass vial design to palletization options.
     
  • AXess delivers reliable, good quality glass packaging with straightforward TCO and is ideal for essential or primary care drugs that require inert Type I packaging. AXess delivers proven vial designs and optimized packaging configurations.

 

SGD Pharma’s thorough analysis of parenteral market needs, including therapeutic applications, drug properties, and business environments, allows the company to meet the demand for high-quality glass vials that combine flexibility, quality assurance, and technical & regulatory support.

 

This strengthened packaging solution is the result of SGD Pharma’s continuous investments into its state-of-the-art plants, Saint Quentin-Lamotte (France) – a Type I glass Center of excellence – and Vemula (India), enabling the company to improve its products and services offering. With an output of 2.5 million vials per day, these best-in-class manufacturing facilities enable SGD Pharma to deliver these value propositions to all Pharma and Biotech customers, wherever they are located and regardless of supply chain needs.
