VETTER PHARMA TURM is the American affiliate of the Vetter Group, an independent contract manufacturer of sterile liquids and small-volume parenteral drugs and a world leader in precision pre-filled syringe filling.

Sterile production is accomplished in one of 14 aseptic suites. The sterile facilities are supported by additional warehousing and secondary packaging capacity. The facilities have been FDA inspected, (by both CDER and CBER), and GMP approved for specific production. Additional production areas are being added.

Founded in 1953, Vetter Pharma-Fertigung is a full-service contractor with 750 employees who work with parenteral drug manufacturers on four continents.

The Vetter Lyo-Ject® dual-chamber syringe is the result of a pharmaceutical process developed to store two incompatible substances in one container. This could be a lyophilisate and diluent, or two liquids. Several manufacturers have found distinct marketing advantages using this proprietary process to package drugs that must be mixed or reconstituted immediately prior to injection.

Some other products include:
  • Aseptic filling of liquids in bottles, syringes and alternative delivery systems
  • Lyophilization in syringes
  • Lyophilization cycle optimization
  • Terminal sterilization of filled syringes
  • Packaging, labeling and cartoning
  • QA/QC, process validation
