High-quality manufacturing services you can rely on

According to estimates by the WHO, up to 15% of all medicinal products worldwide are counterfeit. We believe that counterfeiting can be reduced by serializing products. The Falsified Medicines Directive 2016/161/EU (FMD) has been implemented in both of our plants to supply serialized and tamper-evident products.
