Pens and auto-injectors are highly sought-after administration solutions for injectables. From insulin to autoimmune applications and novel GLP-1s, the trend towards self-medication is continuing to rise. In parallel, the demand for new medical device manufacturing solutions is also increasing. And this is exactly where Syntegon comes into play: We offer pharmaceutical manufacturers and CDMOs highly flexible and modular assembly systems that answer all current challenges.
The market for self-medication is developing faster than ever before. Numerous new pharmaceuticals are being introduced, while further products are currently in the development phase. New GLP-1s, for example, enable patients to achieve significant weight reduction and offer an important means of combating obesity and preventing type 2 diabetes. Most of these novel drugs are administered as injectables. Hence, both pharmaceutical manufacturers and CDMOs need to expand their device manufacturing and assembly capabilities to keep up with this high demand.
Challenges and solutions in autoinjector assembly
The challenges in this rapidly expanding market are manifold. Currently, pens and autoinjectors are in greater demand than supply, especially for GLP-1s. Pharmaceutical manufacturers and CDMOs require high capacities and the equipment to handle them accordingly. In parallel, many pharmaceutical companies are developing high-cost drugs without knowing their market success. Once developed and approved, fast time to market is crucial – and so is the matching assembly equipment.
Syntegon makes sure you can solve all these challenges. With our many years of experience, a comprehensive assembly portfolio with a standardized and scalable platform, as well as an agile project organization, we are your ideal partner for your pen and autoinjector assembly requirements. Our experts will help you navigate market demands more efficiently, while our technology makes sure your assembly processes are as smooth as can be.
