As a special thank you to this year’s Director’s Cup Award winners, Eric M. Green, President and CEO; Annette Favorite, Sr. VP and Chief HR Officer; and Tom Gribbin, VP, Operations, Americas, served a catered dinner to all three shifts at our St. Petersburg facility. This visit from leadership provided an opportunity to personally recognize everyone for their commitment to safety, quality, productivity, lean programs and community service.

Particulate reduction will continue to be the area of focus for all container closure systems, including the traditional vial/stopper/seal combination.

Pharmaceutical companies will need to evaluate if older components will meet the modern particulate requirements of the market.</p>
West team members helped to spread the word about how fun and rewarding technology careers really can be when they attended the Girls Exploring Tomorrow’s Technology (GETT) event on March 21, 2015, at the Great Valley High School in Malvern, PA. More than 530 young women attended the event, which encourages middle school and high school age girls to pursue careers in technology, sciences, engineering, and art and design. GETT is a STEM program (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) designed to ensure students are exposed to scientific disciplines and make them aware of their career options in these fields.
