Aptar Pharma has “significantly increased” the production capacity at its facility in Eigeltingen, Germany for nasal delivery pumps for preservative free formulations, the company says, in order to meet continuously rising demand for preservative free systems. According to Aptar, the company has already sold more than 130 million units of the Advanced Preservative Free (APF) system with tip seal/filter technology and has doubled its production capacity for the units in 2012.
Aptar Pharma CHC Division Director of Business Development Gunter Nadler commented, “APF has been a great product for Aptar Pharma. In particular, our customers in the emerging markets like Latin America or Russia market their nasal spray products equipped with APF with increasing success.”
