I’ve experienced an interesting nine years at West. I joined West in 2011 as a Production Engineer in the Operations department, where I was responsible for the Finishing and Metal production area, and then moved to the molding and trimming production area as a Senior Production Engineer. In 2017, I moved to Quality and took the role of Associate Quality Control Manager, where I was able to develop different skills such as Lean Six Sigma and ISO 9001 auditor. West provided me many useful training courses such as Leading Others, Leadership and People Management to help me grow from an individual contributor to a manager. Most recently, I have been promoted to my current role, Associate Quality Manager, supporting our Asia Pacific region.

The need to provide vaccines for the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has presented the pharmaceutical industry with unprecedented challenges. Among them are accelerated timelines for development/approval and unanticipated volumes for manufacture/delivery. Ordinarily for a new drug product, there is ample time for selecting the primary package system and establishing component availability.
West is pleased to announce the addition of Stevanato Group’s (SG) clean, sterilized, depyrogenated EZ-fill<sup>®</sup> glass vials in 2R, 6R and 10R sizes for 13mm and 20mm stoppers and seals to its Online Store. These ready-to-fill vials are a high-quality option for general pharmaceutical use.
One of the challenges of sharing technical content is making the material engaging and easily digestible to many different types of learners. It must not only be scientifically accurate, but also needs to capture and keep the attention of the intended audience. The Knowledge Center on West’s website is a valuable repository of written and presented materials, created by the experts who develop and test our products. It is also now home to the Learning Center, a section of the Knowledge Center that shares information on a more introductory level, aimed at new employees or companies that are new to packaging. In an effort to continue enhancing our website content, we are now also starting to add new types of media. In the age of podcasts and vlogs (video blogs), we understand that video and audio are just as helpful (maybe more so!) for people trying to grasp a new concept.
Compendial documents developed by both international and national organizations outline specifications for elastomeric components that are used in packaging of parenteral drug products. These specifications often are not harmonized; not all compendia specify the use of the same tests, and some tests that are used globally have varying specifications. Understanding these specifications and how they influence packaging/delivery of parenteral drug products in global markets is critical.
