Successful collaboration for pure media generation

With the installation of a new purified water (PW) generator, the Syntegon subsidiary Pharmatec and Vetter not only advanced the site expansion in Langenargen; they also laid the foundation for an extended partnership.

With over 75 years of experience, Vetter Pharma-Fertigung GmbH & Co KG is a leading global Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization (CDMO) for injectable APIs. The company is experiencing long-term growth and a steady increase in demand. To meet this demand, Vetter has been investing in the expansion of its portfolio and sites for years. One of them is Langenargen in Germany, where Vetter has been filling liquid and lyophilized products into vials and syringes since 1998.

The highest quality standards

The facility currently has four filling lines, two more will be added in the future. This requires meeting certain conditions. For example, a sufficient supply of pure media such as water or steam for feeding and cleaning the lines is essential. Until recently, two generators produced purified water (PW) by reverse osmosis in Langenargen. Whenever the larger of the two units was out of operation for sanitization purposes, the smaller one was no longer able to meet the demand.

To secure production capacity and prepare for an increase in the future, Vetter needed another PW generator. Here, the company’s high quality standards played an important role – and lead to a very specific requirement for the project in Langenargen: Vetter was looking for a solution that could produce PW in WFI quality.
