Pharmaceutical and healthcare companies around the world rely on the expertise of West's contract manufacturing team—formerly known as The Tech Group to create innovative, safe and effective drug delivery systems that bring important therapies to patients. For those companies – like ours – quality and innovation are of the utmost importance.
In part one of our video series West on the Road – Tempe, we look at how West's contract manufacturing Rockford campus in Tempe, Arizona is developing advanced automation systems and programs to ensure the quality and efficacy of drug delivery and monitoring systems. This begins by establishing manufacturing processes based on a deep understanding of the customer’s needs and the products themselves. West's contract manufacturing engineers at the 96,500-square-foot facility learn our customer’s products inside and out. They combine that insight with their deep knowledge of medical devices and materials, such as plastics, as well as the latest in insert and multi-shot molding techniques to ensure we’re meeting the needs of our pharmaceutical partners and the patients relying on them.
While the medical manufacturing industry today may be complex as ever, Director of Operations, Mike Moran, believes that manufacturing processes will only grow in complexity in the coming years as a changing healthcare environment—one that is ever more patient-centric—will continue to demand more of the pharmaceutical industry and their manufacturing partners.
Ultimately, people at the contract manufacturing plant understand the critical role that they play in bringing drug delivery systems from concept to patient and delivering the high quality that our pharmaceutical customers – and patients – demand.
The West without Borders fundraising initiative had a terrific year in 2011 and as we kick off the 2012 campaign, we can look forward to another great year of aiding charities in the communities where West employees live and work. In 2011, West employees contributed more than $210,000 to aid local charities.
Prior to joining West in 2015, I had a 24-year military career where I gained considerable experience in crisis management. During that time, I spent several years deployed overseas, spending long periods of time away from my family while serving in challenging environments. My service also included supporting the City of Philadelphia and surrounding counties during several declared States of Emergency. We spent many days and night running 24/7 crisis and emergency response operations including sending soldiers and vehicles on missions in support of local emergency services, first responder, and healthcare personnel.
At some point early in the development of a drug product, pharmaceutical manufacturers must make a very important choice. How will the final product be delivered to the patient? That choice leads to a variety of additional choices regarding drug formulations, stability, container closure systems and the various interactions of the drug with its packaging, and ultimately, patient compliance.
