Tubilux Selects TraceLink to Achieve EU FMD Compliance

The Italy-based contract manufacturer Tubilux has selected Tracelink for its serialization solutions to help its 30-plus European pharmaceutical manufacturing customers comply with the approaching serialization deadlines for the EU Falsified Medicines Directive (FMD).

Tubilux provides services to major and emerging pharmaceutical companies and specializes in ophthalmic products, including the manufacture of ointments, gels and eye drops for a wide range of eye disorders. Tubilux selected the TraceLink Life Sciences Cloud to enable its customers to meet the EU FMD regulations on-time, at the lowest cost and least risk to its product supply. By leveraging TraceLink’s network tenant architecture, Tubilux can eliminate the complexity and costs associated with point-to-point integrations for its EU pharmaceutical manufacturing customers.

“Our long-standing history in the international pharmaceutical and contract manufacturing industry has enabled Tubilux to become the benchmark in ophthalmology and preferred business partner for a number of Italian and international companies,” said a Tubilux spokesperson. “In order to preserve our valued client relationships, we chose TraceLink for its market leadership and ability to help us seamlessly provide serialization through a simple integration and wide breadth of interoperability with our partners. With over 30 clients, we could not afford to lose time and resources by establishing individual point-to-point connections with each customer. TraceLink’s network approach instantly transformed our serialization project into a much easier and more manageable process.”

Shabbir Dahod, president and chief executive officer, TraceLink, said, “EU FMD compliance is becoming a stark reality for companies that need to have serialization in place by the February 2019 deadline. The TraceLink Life Sciences Cloud platform provides companies with an easy and fast path directly into the EU Hub. Tubilux values our deep expertise on EU compliance and chose TraceLink to simplify the serialization process while reducing costs and minimizing complexities with data exchange. We look forward to partnering with Tubilux to help ensure EU FMD compliance for its customers in Europe.”
