EXTON, Pa., Oct. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (NYSE: WST), a global leader in innovative solutions for injectable drug administration, today announced its participation at CPHI Worldwide in Milan, Italy to showcase leadership and expertise on industry challenges and trends in packaging and containment.

Examining Contamination Control Strategy in Primary Packaging as part of EU GMP Annex 1- Wednesday, October 9 | 2:15 - 2:40 p.m.
- Presented by Ana Kuschel, Principal, Scientific Affairs, West

"The revisions to EU GMP Annex 1 represent a significant shift in drug manufacturing with over 30 references to primary packaging alone," said Cindy Reiss-Clark, Chief Commercial Officer at West. "At West, we know a drug manufacturer's contamination control strategy is only as strong as its weakest link, making the quality and control of materials from third party suppliers' critical factors to their process."

West is also a finalist for a CPHI Award in the "Heart of Pharma" category for its partnership with Fox Chase Cancer Center. This award recognizes companies, individuals and initiatives which nurture philanthropic, ethical and community-based ventures.
