Wyeth has recognized six suppliers for its Global Recognition for Outstanding Wyeth Suppliers (GROWS) awards program. The company selected recipients based on outstanding performance during 2008 in six categories: Quality, Delivery, Customer Service, Technical Support, Continuous Improvement, and Supplier of the Year. Suppliers to Wyeth’s manufacturing sites in North America and Europe were evaluated by a selection committee made up of procurement, manufacturing and quality and compliance representatives from the company’s Technical Operations and Product Supply (TO&PS) network.

Wyeth’s Supplier of the Year is Drug Plastics & Glass Co., Inc. Other winners include: Klöckner Pentaplast Group (Quality); Colorcon, Inc. (Delivery); H. S. Crocker Co., Inc. (Customer Service); DSM Nutritional Products Ltd. (Technical Support); Schreiner MediPharm (Continuous Improvement). Also, Catalent Pharma Solutions’ softgel manufacturing site in St. Petersburg, Florida recently received a “Preferred Partner Award in Technology” from Wyeth Consumer Healthcare. The award recognizes Catalent’s support in 2008 for technical projects and documents.

“High quality materials and dependable service are critical to providing the exceptional products our customers expect and consumers deserve,” said Paul Addis, Wyeth’s vice president and chief procurement officer. “This year’s winners have distinguished themselves through their strategic alignment with our businesses; their operational performance and outstanding quality; their world class innovation; and their commitment to continuous improvement.
