The two new vial filling and packaging lines will allow the filling and closure of vials ranging in size from 2.0ml to 100ml in multiple languages and in a variety of label stocks.


The initial new filling line installed at the plant was developed around a ten-head, in-line piston filler for the production of liquid and cream filled containers.
