Gerresheimer has entered into an important agreement involving its Advanced Technologies division. An established US biotech company will rely on Gerresheimer's innovative strength and engineering expertise for the development of a new pump to deliver a leading drug for the treatment of rare diseases via continuous parenteral administration. The pump for the continuous parenteral administration of the liquid drug will be specially adapted by Gerresheimer to the needs of patients with this rare disease. The sales and revenue model is divided into two phases. First, the American biotech will fund the development of the pump. After the market launch, Gerresheimer will sell the pump to the biotech and receive both a transfer price and royalty. The project is already making a positive contribution to earnings development from the start - clear evidence of the successful implementation of the growth strategy. The exclusive agreement between Gerresheimer and the American biotech addresses the regions USA and Canada, with a right of first refusal granted to the partner to cover additional territories. Gerresheimer therefore plans to have a pump approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration in the future. The innovative pump consists of two parts, one of which can be reused, thus increasing the sustainability of the solution. At its core is the already patented SenseCore technology.
