Japan’s Ministry for Health, Labor and Welfare has given Vetter Pharma-Fertigung GmbH & Co. KG the go-ahead as a foreign manufacturer for the Japanese pharmaceutical market.
"The accreditation is very good news for us," said Vetter Managing
Director Dr. Koch."We can now offer our services and products to customers from Japan's pharmaceutical and biotech industry.”
The certificates demonstrate that Vetter meets the specific Japanese quality and safety standards as a foreign manufacturer.
From now on, Japanese pharmaceutical and biotech companies wanting to offer their drugs on their domestic market can take advantage of the services
offered by the Ravensburg-based company. Vetter already partners with international customers to manufacture pre-filled injection systems for the Japanese market. “The accreditation means that we now have direct access to the world’s third largest pharmaceuticals market, which is a real boost to our competitiveness," Dr. Koch explained.
Partnering with Japanese pharmaceutical and biotech companies also represents a major building block in the future growth potential of the company, which has a headcount of over 1,900 spread over several locations.
