Under the agreement, Gerresheimer will increase its annual production capacity in Morganton, NC with interchangeable Type 1 vials<\/strong> (glass borosilicate and\/or aluminosilicate) and Gx Elite Glass Vials capability. BARDA's financing, with contracting support from the DOD's Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND) and the Army Contracting Command (ACC), will strengthen the capabilities in the U.S. to respond to current and future public health emergencies. The vials can be used in vaccination campaigns against infectious diseases, such as COVID-19 and others<\/strong>. This expansion of the facility will further strengthen Gerresheimer's leading market position in best-in-class elite vials.<\/p>
