While manufacturers of primary pharmaceutical packaging specifically appreciate the reliable workability of our glass tubes their customers, the pharmaceutical companies, have other primary concerns. They are more concerned with the hydrolytic resistance of the glass as well as having a reliable supplier and risk management. SCHOTT understands these expectations and is now in the position to produce FIOLAX^®, one of the best-quality special glass types for pharmaceutical packaging, in the same quality at 4 locations throughout the world.

Closed end vials and ampoules are manufactured in accordance with SCHOTT’s own DENSOCAN^® system, which is a safe and reliable way to avoid contamination in the process chain, both before and during processing. To guarantee safety and the lowest possible amount of particles, SCHOTT has developed DENSOPACK^®, where each bundle of tubes is shrink-wrapped with foil at both ends which stops the tubes moving, hence avoiding scratches during transport and storage.

The certification of SCHOTT in Mitterteich under EN ISO 15378:2007, which incorporates all GMP principles, is further evidence of SCHOTT's high standards of quality.
