Von der Apotheke zum Weltmarktführer - Vetter im ... - Vetter Pharma

Since the prefilled syringe functions both as unit-dose container
and application system, drug loss is markedly reduced.
The »all-in-one« concept of the Vetter Lyo-Ject ® dual-chamber
syringe enables the user to prepare the injection solution quickly
and safely and makes the injection patient friendly. The sum of
all these user benefits renders the system highly cost effective as
well due to the minimal use of packaging material.
The system also led to high cost-effectiveness, more economical
packaging and reduced injection time. By having only
one dual-chamber syringe as opposed to one syringe and two
ampoules to draw from, precious time is saved.
Vetter’s focus on syringe technology since the mid-70s
and, in particular, the Vetter Lyo-Ject ® dual-chamber prefilled
syringe have made the company into an industry leader in this
niche business, a company highly regarded by its international
partners.
Überliefertes Zitat von Horst Seehofer, damaliger Bundesgesundheitsminister,
anlässlich seines Besuchs bei Vetter
im Jahr 1995: »Erfolgreiche Firmen wie Sie sind auch ohne
Regierung erfolgreich.«
A quote attributed to Horst Seehofer, then Federal Minister
of Health, on the occasion of a visit to Vetter in the year
1995:«Successful companies like yours are also successful
without a government.«
Since the market introduction of the Vetter Lyo-Ject ® dualchamber
prefilled syringe the company has grown to over 1,900
employees and enjoys increasing annual sales rates in the double
digits. These are figures that speak for Helmut Vetter’s visionary idea
of the dual-chamber prefilled syringe.
The broad recognition paid to these innovative developments
is also evidenced by the respective first prizes awarded to the
Vetter Lyo-Ject ® dual-chamber prefilled syringe at the 20th Annual
German Packaging Competition 1997 and the Eurostar Packaging
Competition, as well as the WorldStar Packaging Award 1998.
It was not surprising, therefore, that Helmut Vetter – honored
by the state of Baden-Württemberg with its medal for economic
achievement and appointed honorary senator of the University of
Ulm – restated the guiding principles for his company in 1997 by
preceding them with the following mission statement: »We are a
full-service partner to our customers. We offer solutions for aseptically
prefilled application systems and are one of the international
market leaders in this industry segment.«
