A global pharmaceutical company came to us looking for a solution to consolidate all of its European packaging services. Their four principle plants were using four distinct processes and multiple artworks suppliers. This was costing them time, money and efficiencies, and leaving them exposed to major quality control risks.

We began by working with and understanding the operational, cultural and linguistic sensitivities of all four plants. The result was a balanced Pan-European packaging workflow that integrated seamlessly into all parties involved. We established a team to act as the European packaging services hub. This allowed us to quickly develop processes and quality systems and to function as an extension of the client’s own packaging team. Now there’s a central process point that’s essential to quickly reacting to changing regulatory standards.

WE ACCOMPLISHED THIS THROUGH:

Off-site staff implementation
Workflow system evaluation and integration
Centralized artwork and premedia
Geographic and culture adaptation
Process alignment with regulatory demands

THE RESULTS:

Significant increases in right-first-time scores
Full visibility of developed artwork for management
Reduced production costs
Increased production times
Accurate and consistent packaging
