West works by the side of our health care partners to understand patient needs and provide integrated delivery systems that optimize the effectiveness of drug delivery while enhancing the patient experience. Creative business models will ensure effective collaboration, either by leveraging West’s proprietary technologies or partnering with individual customers through the development process to apply West’s design, engineering and manufacturing skills to create customer-specific solutions.

The drive for high-quality packaging has helped manufacturers focus on increasing consistency of performance in devices such as auto-injector and patch injection systems. In addition, there is an increased focus on providing drug delivery systems that are easy to use. A consistent quality of components can help to improve performance and ensure delivery in the home environment, while user-centric systems can help assist with compliance.
