By installing a new high-speed blister-packaging machine, Compass Pharma Services, LLC expanded its blister-packaging capacity for contract pharmaceutical packaging and contract vitamin packaging.

The Uhlmann thermoformer UPS4 operates at up to 50 cycles/min, says Compass, depending upon product size, configuration and packaging material.

"Blister packaging and unit-dose packaging continues to grow in popularity among our pharmaceutical packaging and nutritional packaging customers," says Tony Fenno, chief operating officer at the Clifton, NJ-based independently owned and operated contract cGMP packager. "Our investment in additional blister packaging capacity was necessary to keep pace with this increased demand.

"Uhlmann systems are among the most widely used blister-packaging machines in the pharmaceutical and nutrition industry," he says. "This new machine supports Compass' business strategy of providing contract pharmaceutical packaging services with the same quality and consistency of in-house production."
