It has been over a year since China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) announced Matters Concerning Bundling Review and Approval of Pharmaceutical Packaging Materials, Pharmaceutical Excipients and Drugs (Document No.134 [2016]). As a result, the China pharmaceutical packaging industry is experiencing a revolution.

This summer, West Pharmaceutical Services was delighted to exhibit at the 1^st PDA Europe Annual Meeting. PDA organized this unique conference about the future of injectables to provide participants with a first-hand opportunity to gain deeper insight into current and future advances in modern sterile manufacturing and quality oversight. West also supported the NovaPure® 1-3 mL plunger launch during the meeting. Throughout the event, attendees were given the opportunity to engage with speakers, industry peers, regulators and exhibitors.

Last week, West once again exhibited at CPhI/Innopack—Europe’s premier trade show that brings together approximately 36,000 senior pharmaceutical professionals from more than 150 countries. West was among the show exhibitors that included providers of packaging, finished doses, machinery, ingredients, contract services, and other related services.

It’s October and tradeshow season is upon us. West is excited to participate in some of the world’s premier meetings related to pharmaceutical manufacturing. Additionally, the company will offer its semi-annual Educational Series on the West Coast in November.

From June 2-4, West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. made its debut at CPhI Istanbul—a leading trade show in the Eurasia region. Each year, CPhI attracts approximately 4,000 professionals—bringing together local and regional drug manufacturers with global suppliers of raw materials, machinery, packaging solutions and contract services.

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.
