New production facility in Brazil for Gerresheimer

A new facility for medical plastic systems in Indaiatuba (Brazil) has been set up by Gerresheimer. The plant is to commence operations early this year and, on the basis of a long-term cooperation agreement with Novo Nordisk, components will be produced with state-of-the-art technology for insulin pen systems for diabetics. Novo Nordisk has a large insulin plant in Brazil which will in future be supplied locally by the new technology center of Gerresheimer. For the latter this is the fourth production plant in South America in addition to two existing plants for pharma plastic packaging in Brazil and one in Argentina.
