Paris-based Laboratoires VIVACY develops, produces, and distributes medical injectables. Due to a boom in aesthetic procedures, production volume is growing strongly, necessitating packaging automation.

Aesthetic procedures have been gaining popularity for years. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reports that total cosmetic surgical procedures have increased 22% since the year 2000.  “Many patients invested their vacation funds in their own appearance and took advantage of working from home and the obligation to wear masks to heal and recover in peace,” reports Koch, a provider of blister packaging and cartoning systems.

Paris-based Laboratoires VIVACY specializes in injectable medical products including those that treat wrinkles. “The strong growth is great, but presents us with real production challenges in the packaging process,” explains Ludovic Heim, responsable méthodes et maintenance at VIVACY. “KOCH Pac-Systeme has therefore implemented a solution with us to further automate the packaging process and integrate blister production into the company. This new line enables us to improve quality, reduce our production waste and cut our logistics costs.”

With over 50 years’ experience in developing packaging lines, KOCH used its expertise in aesthetic medical products to evaluate with VIVACY, who sought to reduce logistics efforts, warehousing, and space requirements associated with blister production—an important factor at the production site in Archamps, France.
