Vetter, a global CDMO, is making additional investments as part of its long-lead goals for continued expansion and to support customer needs.

Vetter Managing Director Thomas Otto, said, “Our new production building signifies our ongoing dedication to support the needs of our customers concerning their complex injectable drug products with regards to packaging systems, specific process requirements and batch sizes. This is just one of several investments we are currently undertaking to manage our sustainable growth.”

Further investments include the increase of lab space for analytical services, the expansion of filling capacity through new commercial production lines at other sites in the EU, the expansion in cool storage and warehousing, as well as a new technical equipment warehouse. Additionally, the company is optimizing infrastructure at all global sites to further develop processes, and developing new compounding and preparation rooms for the handling of incoming and outgoing products.
