Quality First. Comprise Never.
Unparalleled precision.
Seamless scalability.
Datwyler offers an extensive portfolio of sealing solutions for vials, cartridges, and prefilled syringes used in the development, distribution, and administration of parenteral drugs.
Fueled by our passion for patient care and safety, we take a quality-first approach to engineer drug packaging components with a proprietary fluoropolymer coating to deliver the lowest particle levels. This adds up to better protection of injectable formulations against leachables, extractables, and particulate contamination that could threaten the effectiveness and integrity of medicines.
Bolstered by a century of material expertise, our team is equipped to raise the bar in custom component design, risk mitigation, supply chain agility, and scalability from drug development to distribution.

Quality-First Approach
What is a Quality-First Approach to Pharmaceutical Packaging?
Datwyler’s FirstLine® manufacturing standard combines best-in-class production technologies with fully integrated cleanroom environments.
The manufacturing process at these facilities includes the following:
- Automated “hands-free” production, minimizing human intervention
- 100 percent camera inspection
- Components packaged ready-to-use (RTU)
- Packaging of components in vacuum-sealed bags.
The FirstLine® network of locations around the world — including our plant in Middletown, Delaware — ensures multinational options for sourcing. The Middletown FirstLine® facility not only offers all of the above features, it also minimizes cellulose contamination by banning paper and wood products on the plant floor. Learn more by downloading our FirstLine® overview or request a virtual tour.

COVID-19
Driving Solutions to COVID-19 Shortage Concerns.
Datwyler has been working with industry leaders to develop sealing solutions for the multiple COVID-19 vaccine candidates. Amid industrywide concerns about shortages, we are in an excellent position to meet projected demand for stoppers and aluminum seals for vaccine packaging. Our team is preparing for increased capacity demands and rapid scale-up in our facilities all over the globe.
The addition of our FirstLine® facility in Middletown, Delaware has provided critical infrastructure to help support the increased demand around COVID-19. By scaling up this facility faster than originally planned and ramping up production with a 24/7 schedule worldwide, we’ve increased capacity for coated components by almost 50% over the last two years and have more investments to optimize the use of our production facilities in the pipeline. These measures not only ensure our readiness for COVID-19, but also enable continued production of sealing solutions for injectable drug packaging used in other medicines.
