"the second life" of pharmaceuticals
The Beginning
Pharmaceutical packaging is rated as "the second life" of pharmaceuticals as it is closely related to drug quality and safety, thus being an essential part of the pharmaceutical industry and an important industry concerning national economy and peoples livelihood. However, pharmaceutical glass packaging produced by Chinese manufacturers are now mainly being used in global low-end pharmaceutical markets, while "Class I glass bottle" (made of glass with high chemical durability and high heat resistance) mainly depends on import, the proportion of which pharmaceutical glass packaging is only 8% in China, but 18% and 27% respectively in Europe and the United States. SGD Pharma is the worlds leading manufacturer of pharmaceutical glass packaging and produces more than 2 billion glass containers every year, with2015 sales revenues of 290 million euros. SGD Pharma boasts of unique technologies with respect to pharmaceutical moldings and controlled products, and has five production bases in France, Germany, India and China, so that it is one of the few manufacturers capable of producing Class I pharmaceutical glass.
