Gerresheimer opens Glass Innovation and Technology Center in the U.S.

Düsseldorf/Vineland, New Jersey (ots) -

Gerresheimer is driving innovation in pharmaceutical glass,
primary packaging glass products, technologies and digitized
processes. In the future, highly qualified engineers at the recently
opened "Gx Glass Innovation and Technology Center" will develop
innovative solutions for the pharmaceutical sector that meet today's
and future demand of the pharma industry. During a customer event
with more than 100 participants the CEO Dietmar Siemssen opened the
new innovation center in Vineland/New Jersey/US.

"We are leading in health and well-being delivery. We are
developing first-class glass solutions to meet highest quality
requirements. In our new innovation center we will bundle our glass
expertise and all our experts to develop new products and
technologies, together with our customers in one place. Among those
enhanced value propositions for our customers are Gx Elite Glass,
ready-to-fill vials, strengthened glass and much more to come," said
Dietmar Siemssen, CEO of Gerresheimer AG, in his opening speech at
the new Gx Glass Innovation and Technology Center.

Gerresheimer has made significant investments in its production
sites in the Americas over the past few years. In the Gx Glass
Innovation and Technology Center, the company will intensify glass
innovations as well as optimize all its processes to enable the
Gerresheimer plants worldwide to make pharmaceutical glass of the
highest quality. The team will work on new products, further
digitization, process capabilities, camera inspection systems and
much more.

Pooled development capacity

There are clear benefits to pooling development capacity at a
single site: 25 experts and engineers specialized in glass technology
will work together on innovation in a setting that is conducive to
collaboration thanks to an open-plan office, project and meeting
rooms, allowing interactive co-working with customers onsite. The
innovation center is the first of its kind for Gerresheimer Primary
Packaging Glass and was recently built next to the tubular glass
converting plant in Vineland. Thereby the innovation center can
develop new products and processes very close to a production site,
involving the operational expertise of the engineers at that plant.
