West Pharmaceutical Services is expanding its R&D center in St. Petersburg, FL. The company’s development center will focus on new elastomer formulations, process technologies and products for its global component manufacturing network.
“The customer-focused activities at the advanced development center will enable West to optimize product development and manufacturing processes so we can help customers meet their business objectives, such as quality by design initiatives,” said Fran DeGrazio, West’s vice president, marketing and strategic business development.
“This investment enables us to continue to support our customers’ requirements for extremely clean pharmaceutical packaging and delivery system components by introducing new innovative technologies and by building on our established technologies, including the Westar ready-to-use process, FluroTec barrier film and Envision automated vision inspection system,” said Tyson Popp, vice president, R&D, West.
The development center will feature technologies for mixing, compounding, molding and finishing elastomer packaging components and is expected to be on-line by October 2011.
