This is the first year that Gerresheimer is showcasing its innovative plastic products for the American market at the Interphex exhibition and conference, a forum for pharmaceutical products, technology, trends and production processes.

Two of the flagship innovations are the new multilayer plastic parenteral vials and the new Duma® Twist-Off Closures with US seal. The closures have the necessary foil seal for the US market, so it is possible use the same tablet containers with the same closures in Europe and America.

The company's innovative product range extends from ampoules, vials, special cartridges and syringe systems made of borosilicate tubular glass to ready-to-fill RTF® syringes.
