Pen system and cartridge from one source

Gerresheimer offers the two primary materials used in the pharmaceutical industry – glass and plastics. We produce both primary packaging, such as glass cartridges, and customized drug delivery systems made of plastics, such as insulin pens.

Our plastic experts in our Technical Competence Centers in Wackersdorf (Germany), Peachtree City (USA, GA), and Dongguan City (China) work hand in hand with the glass specialists from Gerresheimer Bünde and coordinate the tolerances of glass cartridges and plastic assembly units closely with one another. In this way, we ensure that injection forces are optimized and that cartridges are positioned optimally in the plastic device.

We develop both glass cartridge and insulin pen.
