Small series are required as clinical samples or stability batches for the development and approval of products in the pharmaceutical and medical sectors. Gerresheimer is therefore now opening a small series production facility for the American market at its US site in Peachtree City, Georgia.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Pharmaceutical and medical technology products undergo a lengthy process before series production. approval process, for which smaller quantities are repeatedly used as clinical samples or stability batches.<\/strong> have to be produced. Gerresheimer<\/a> opened its own small series production facility for this task at its Technical Competence Centre in Wackersdorf (Germany) in 2013. The company is now also starting small series production at the Peachtree City production site in order to be able to offer US customers small series production on site.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

In addition to making smaller quantities available, small series production enables the optimise the production process as early as the pilot phase<\/strong>. The entire know-how required for series production can be built up and processes can be developed and optimised. The experience gained in toolmaking and automation can be used directly for the design of series tools and series production equipment.<\/p>

The equipment for small series production currently includes an injection moulding machine with a clamping force of 120 tonnes, to which handling systems and parts conveyors are connected. In addition Project-specific assembly and packaging units<\/strong> The production department has its own fully equipped measuring laboratory with product-specific testing equipment including optical and tactile measuring machines and other testing equipment. For quality assurance, the small series production department has its own fully equipped measuring laboratory with product-specific testing facilities with optical and tactile measuring machines and other testing equipment.<\/p>
