Prefilled Syringe Manufacturer Recognized with Excellence Award

A manufacturer of prefilled syringes has been recognized for differentiating itself among its competitors in Europe. Nuova Ompi - Stevanato Group was honored with the "Europe Product Differentiation Excellence Award for Prefillable Syringes" from Frost & Sullivan. Frost & Sullivan is a global research organization that tracks more than 300 industries and 250,000 companies with a team of more than 1800 analysts.

According to Frost & Sullivan's report, "With the exception of Nuova Ompi, none of the other PFS [prefilled syringe] suppliers possess the capacity to design and manufacture syringe assembly machinery. The group's Optrel unit manufactures inspection machines for containers. This capacity enables Nuova Ompi to meet the specific dimensional requirements of its customers."

Nuova Ompi-Stevanato Group president Sergio Stevanato says that the group was simply focusing on meeting customer needs. "Our strategy is to manufacture and supply customized PFS syringes that are competitively priced and of high quality," he says. "In addition, we recognize that meeting the specific demands for the vaccine and the needs of our biotech customers would be a major growth driver for Ompi. This is made possible thanks to our unique specifications, whereby the manufacturing lines at Ompi are flexible and cater even to small volume requests from customers."

Stevanato Group provides a range of pharmaceutical containers made from glass tubing and recently extended its EZ-fill sterile production from syringes to other pharmaceutical containers like vials and cartridges, Stevanato reports.

Frost & Sullivan employed the following criteria to benchmark the performance of the Nuova Ompi - Stevanato Group against key competitors:

  • Unique Features/Functionality
  • Quality/Complexity
  • Customization
  • Matched to Target Markets Needs
  • Brand Perception/Uniqueness of the Product

Nuova Ompi President Sergio Stevanato received the award at a special Frost & Sullivan banquet on October 7th at the Sofitel in Bruxelles.
