The collaboration between CDP and the Stevanato Group strongly supports the expansion of the Stevanato group’s portfolio of devices for patients suffering from diabetes.
The agreement leverages the mutual strengths: on one side, CDP’s leading design and development expertise in drug delivery and on the other, the Stevanato Group’s extensive experience in glass containers, tooling, injection moulding, device assembly, and its global commercial network.
CDP and the Stevanato Group will be able to offer innovative drug delivery solutions to pharmaceutical customers working together from the first concept right through design development, scale-up, regulatory submission, and commercial-scale production in all global markets.
“We are delighted to be announcing this partnership,” says Uri Baruch, CDP’s Head of Drug Delivery. “The Stevanato Group is well established in the device field as a leading supplier of cartridges and assembly equipment for pen-injectors. It is a pleasure to extend our existing working relationship with them for their pen-injector and to address the needs of patients.”
“Our R&D team - with the active support of CDP, an established player in the design and development of drug delivery devices - will offer a competitive pen-injector platform and some customization options,” comments Paolo Patri, Chief Technology Officer at the Stevanato Group. “With the resources and experience of both companies, we will provide diabetic patients with a product that is easy-to-use, aesthetically appealing, and cost-effective.”
This new collaboration is one of the programmes behind the recent, substantial growth of CDP’s team of healthcare-focused designers and engineers in both Cambridge (UK) and Raleigh, NC (USA). “This is another strong vote of confidence in CDP. We look forward to this being the first of many end-to-end projects that we can collaborate on in this new partnership”, says Uri Baruch.
