Ever wondered what West’s cutting-edge product development facilities look like on the inside? Jeff Kyle, Sr. Director New Product Introduction, and Tom McLean, VP Delivery Systems R&D, take you behind the scenes of the Scottsdale, AZ plant.
In addition to exploring new products and custom packaging design, the Scottsdale plant manufactures the Crystal Zenith®Ready-to-Use Insert Needle Syringe System, and the SmartDose® electronic wearable injector. West recently expanded the Scottsdale facility to accommodate customer demand for the SmartDose electronic wearable injector, Kyle explains in this clip, including bringing it up to ISO 7 cleanroom standards. That certification – and the tight layout of the assembly floor – helps employees create the systems more efficiently.
Moving to the lab, Jessica Wentzel, Microbiology Lab Manager, demonstrates the rigorous testing that incoming raw materials and Daikyo Crystal Zenith® cyclic olefin polymer components undergo, from a microorganism and endotoxin standpoint.
As McLean points out, West’s state-of-the-art technology and complex production protocols are put in place for one thing: Enriching patient safety. It’s this element of creating pharmaceutical integrated containment and delivery systems for injectable medicines that inspires pride among West employees.
Daikyo Crystal Zenith® is a registered trademark of Daikyo Seiko, Ltd. Daikyo Crystal Zenith® technology is licensed from Daikyo Seiko, Ltd.
SmartDose® is a registered trademark of Medimop Medical Projects Ltd., a subsidiary of West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. West seeks partners for its SmartDose® injector technology platform. This platform is intended to be used as an integrated system with drug filling and final assembly completed by the pharmaceutical/biotechnology company.
West is honored to be a recipient of the Philadelphia Business Journal’s 2019 Faces of Philanthropy Award. The honor was presented to West at the Business Journal’s Faces of Philanthropy Awards Breakfast on April 11, 2019 in Philadelphia, PA.
It can take more than 12 years and a major financial investment to bring a drug product to market.<sup>1</sup> A drug product’s success relies on its efficacy, safety and manufacturing efficiencies along with the use of innovative strategies to meet evolving market needs and reinforcement of patient adherence. The importance of container closure and delivery systems as critical to success in the pharmaceutical industry is becoming more visible especially in respect to pharmaceutical and biotech organizations that desire to proactively minimize their risks.
From April 21-23, West Pharmaceutical Services joined 12,000+ global pharmaceutical and biotechnology industry professionals and 600+ suppliers at INTERPHEX—the International Pharmaceutical Expo—sponsored by the Parenteral Drug Association. Every year in New York City, the show brings together industry leaders to focus on biopharmaceutical development and manufacturing solutions that can safely and cost effectively process all dosage forms for life-enhancing drugs.
When faced with drug shortages or supply chain issues affecting a branded drug product, generic drug manufacturers need to move quickly to help ensure that needed therapies reach the market safely and efficiently. Access to high-quality packaging and delivery components can make a huge difference in ensuring patients receive life-saving medications on schedule.
Our communities continue to face challenging circumstances related to COVID-19, and West is working hard to support our customers, our teams and our neighbors. Business as usual is changing, and we all struggle to understand what business as usual looks like now and what it means for each of us.
