West Pharma widens R&D center

West Pharmaceutical Services is investing in its research and development center in St. Petersburg, Florida to focus on new elastomer formulations, process technologies and products for its global component manufacturing network.

The advanced center houses the latest technologies for mixing, compounding, molding and finishing elastomer packaging components.

West Marketing and Strategic Business Development vice president Fran DeGrazio said the customer-focused activities at the advanced development center will enable West to optimize product development and manufacturing processes so we can help customers meet their business objectives, such as quality by design initiatives.

West Research and Development vice president Tyson Popp said this investment enables them to continue to support their customers’ requirements for extremely clean pharmaceutical packaging and delivery system components by introducing new technologies and by building on their technologies, including the Westar ready-to-use process, FluroTec barrier film and Envision automated vision inspection system.
