The company currently has two other development centers in Wackersdorf, Germany and Peachtree City, US. Gerresheimer’s development centers produce medical plastic systems such as insulin pens, inhalers, lancets and auto-injectors for industrialization. All interdisciplinary functions up to a product’s series production stage are performed at these sites.
The local projects implemented at the development centers in collaboration with the other sites include series design, manufacturing equipment engineering, process development, project management, quality planning, tool making, automation technology, production initiation and pre-series production.
At its Dongguan City production facility, Gerresheimer has been manufacturing drug delivery devices such as inhalers and lancets for diabetes sufferers, and infusion products, since 2006.
