West Pharmaceutical Services Achieves Milestone with Camp Victory
We are excited to announce that thanks to the overwhelming support of our team members over the last 18 years, West’s donations to Camp Victory have now surpassed the $1 Million dollar mark! Camp Victory, “a special place for special children,” is a camp located in Millville, PA (near West’s Jersey Shore and Williamsport sites) that serves as a fun camp retreat for children living with chronic health challenges. While at Camp Victory, a specialized staff ensures the children receive the greatest possible care, support and personal growth, while having much fun and making many friends. Camp Victory hosted its first group of campers in 1994 and has grown steadily into the impressive facility and program it is today and has hosted over 30,000 overnight campers and counselors. Daily activities for campers include a variety of options, including archery, waterfront, challenge course, arts and crafts, and much more.
West’s support began when Camp Victory Director Jamie Huntley sent out a newsletter with a long wish list of necessities and other items that would enrich the summer fun of the campers. Included on Director Huntley’s wish list was a wheelchair accessible treehouse, something which, because of the lofty price tag, was thought to be an unattainable request. The tree-house wish was the most expensive one ever placed on the list and remained there until the Spring of 2006. Just when the Camp Victory staff was ready to take the request off the list, a phone call came in - the wish had been granted! West, along with the team members at Jersey Shore and Williamsport, wanted to make the dream a reality. In June of 2007, a dedication ceremony was held for “Uncle Walter’s treehouse” – named after Walter Eichelberger, a former West team member who was involved in making the treehouse a reality, but sadly passed away prior to the completion of the treehouse.
“West made our wish come true for an amazing treehouse that all our special campers can enjoy! Building Uncle Walter's Treehouse was the remarkable beginning of the friendship and partnership that has been forged between West and Camp Victory,” said Director Huntley. Since then, West and its team members have continued their support, completing many additional projects, including this year’s pressure washing and staining/sealing Uncle Walt's treehouse.
In addition to volunteering, West team members continue to play an integral part in enabling the campers to break the barriers of every-day challenges and discover the freedom of a true camping experience through monetary donations. Through the company’s West without Borders program, in 2022, the Jersey Shore and Williamsport sites raised a combined $50,000, which was then matched by the H.O. West Foundation.
“West and their team members from Jersey Shore and Williamsport have continued to support Camp Victory financially and through hundreds of volunteer hours, forming an extremely strong bond between everyone associated with these two amazing organizations!” said Jaime Huntley. “We couldn't have continued to provide our "special camp for special kids" without West! Everyone at Camp Victory sends our heartfelt "thank you" to everyone from West! As one of our campers said so graciously: "I love hanging out in the treehouse....it makes me feel so good.”
“West’s philanthropic giving and partnership with Camp Victory over the many years is a testament of giving back to the Communities that we work and thrive in; and serves as a win-win situation with what West team members get back in return from being able to help children with life-long health challenges. A sincere and heart-filled thank-you to both the Jersey Shore and Williamsport team members for their ongoing support of Camp Victory,” said Dave Bergerstock, West Pharmaceutical Services.

West is committed to delivering safe and efficient drug packaging products to our customers. Part of that commitment involves keeping the industry abreast of the latest regulatory and technology developments/challenges in packaging and delivery. West recently hosted, at its Exton headquarters, an installment of the ongoing Educational Series, titled: <strong>Managing Risk in Injectable Drug Delivery: Regulatory and Technical Challenges and Solutions. <br /></strong><br />
Daikyo Crystal Zenith® (CZ) Pre-Fillable Syringe (PFS) systems were designed to maintain purity, integrity, and efficacy of premium biopharmaceutical therapies. The system minimizes the potential contamination issues associated with glass and helps to reduce the risk of product interactions, delays in development and scale up, and possible recalls. As an extension of the existing 1mL Long Insert Needle Barrel Assembly, West and Daikyo are proud to introduce the new 2.25mL Insert Needle (IN), providing drug manufacturers a larger volume option for the next generation of autoinjectors for at-home therapies.
Experimental characterization of an elastomer plunger in a particular pre-filled syringe system is essential to help pharmaceutical manufacturers determine whether that plunger is suitable for intended use. The strategy for a characterization study must consider relevant factors, in particular, compatibility with drug product and the ability to enable consistent delivery of drug product (dosage and time), by a clinician or by an autoinjector.
West hosted a dedication ceremony on September 17 to mark the start-up of its recently completed compression molding plant in the Shanghai Zhangjiang High-Tech Industrial Development Zone Qingpu Park in China. The new plant is adjacent to West’s injection molding facility.
