West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. has expanded its presence in the Asia Pacific region with a new sales office in Korea. West Pharmaceutical Services Korea Ltd. is the result of West's purchase of the distribution business of GIS Korea Ltd., a privately-owned medical device and healthcare products distributor serving the Korean market.
"We are excited to build upon the strong foundation that our distributor has established in Korea, as this is an important market for West and our customers," said Karen Flynn, senior vice president and chief commercial officer, West. "By combining the local insight of the GIS Korea Team with West's global manufacturing reach and market-leading technical support team, we will be able to better serve our customers and position ourselves to grow our business in this region."
"Korean pharmaceutical and biotech companies are making great strides to bring new medicines to market, and our team has been working by their side with West's products and services to help them package and deliver their products, so they are delivered safely and effectively to patients," said Kwon Dong-Oh, managing director for West, Korea and former managing director for GIS Korea. "We are excited to join West and to be a part of a global team that is working to improve patient lives."
