Pharmaceutical packaging and services company Gerresheimer (Düsseldorf / Germany; www.gerresheimer.com) has completed the optimisation of clean room production at its three Brazilian packaging production facilities, which manufacture several hundreds of millions of plastic containers and closures for health and wellbeing-related applications annually.

Jens Friis, vice president Europe & Latin America at Gerresheimer Plastic Packaging, said: “Optimising our clean rooms has enabled us to achieve considerable improvements in production quality and we’re now setting new standards in the pharmaceutical packaging market. The entire plant is profiting from the project, and our employees now enjoy vastly improved working conditions.”

The three packaging plants in Brazil have a total production area of 28,000 m². All products are inspected, packaged and labelled in a clean room environment before they go to the warehouse. The company also has a plant manufacturing insulin pens in Indaiatuba, São Paulo / Brazil.
