West’s team members in Germany have spent the past month on charitable activities as part of the 2013 West without Borders fundraising initiative. Donations inspired volunteers to prepare lunch, snacks and desserts for their colleagues. Other activities included a raffle, various food sales and a flea market at plants in Eschweiler, Stolberg and the European Headquarters at Kiefernweg to help raise money for local children in need. This year’s motto was “Gemeinsam erfüllen wir Herzenswünsche” (Together we make dreams come true).
In addition, West colleagues were able to participate in a cooking class, and dietary and health workshop. One of the highlight of this year’s West without Borders campaign involved the European Management Team donning chef’s caps to serve lunch on June 13. The event attracted the attention of local media who came to witness the fun. The reporters were eager to learn about the West without Borders initiative and help increase donations for the charity strahlemaennchen.de, which when translated means “little radiating guys” to reflect the joy of the children helped.
strahlemaennchen.de is a foundation that fulfills the wishes of children who suffer from cancer. Childhood cancer is an extreme burden for the entire family. By making a dream come true, and providing support to the family, the employees of strahlemaennchen.de offer the children and their families happy moments and lasting memories. The West team in Germany enjoyed this year’s West without Borders campaign and take great pride in working together for a good cause.
To meet the ever-increasing demand of growing domestic pharmaceutical markets, the AccelTRA<sup>®</sup> Components Program has expanded to include an RTS/RTU product line with Ready-to-Sterilize (RTS) and Ready-to-Use (RTU) gamma sterilized stoppers developed to provide an innovative customer service package to help customers get their products to market quickly.
It is essential to consider lifecycle management during the development of new drugs – especially in the evolving area of biologic drugs. The market demand for both ease of use, and patient-centric at-home administration, is driving the need for innovative container systems and delivery devices. Typically, drugs are launched in vials; continuous development often then enables launch in other formats, such as pre-filled syringes and cartridges. West is committed to easing this movement from container systems to delivery devices through its NovaPure<sup>®</sup> component portfolio of elastomer closures. NovaPure stoppers and plungers offer best performance and highest quality. Developed with Quality-by-Design principles, they use FluroTec<sup>®</sup> barrier film and B2 coating technologies.

Glucose monitoring, or measuring the amount of sugar in the blood, is a vital part of everyday care for those suffering from diabetes. Traditional tests require patients to prick their fingers and place a drop of blood on a test strip. The strip is then placed in a glucose meter that reports the results to the patient. While this test is very accurate, it offers a reading for only a single point in time. For patients to get a range of their blood glucose levels, more frequent data is needed at a variety of different times.
