SHANGHAI, June 30, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Catalent, the global leader in enabling biopharma, cell, gene and consumer

health partners to optimize development, launch, and supply of better patient

treatments across multiple modalities, today announced that it has expanded its

primary packaging capabilities at its clinical supply facility in Shiga, Japan,

through the installation of a high-speed blister packaging line to complement

its existing automated bottling line.

The new blister packaging equipment is identical to that available across

Catalent's clinical supply services network, offering maximum access and

flexibility to customers undertaking this work globally.

The 6,000-square-meter Shiga site opened in October 2021 to support customers

locally and globally, providing flexible clinical supply solutions, including

Catalent's FastChain® demand-led supply, white glove handling and logistics.

The team at Shiga offers customers bi-lingual, English and Japanese, project

and clinical supply management, services including packaging and labeling,

storage and distribution, controlled drug and cold chain storage and handling,

as well as in-country returns and destruction services.

"The demand for primary packaging in Japan is very high, and customers are

increasingly looking for integrated providers of clinical supply expertise and

services," commented Roel de Nobel, Vice President and General Manager of Asia

Pacific, Catalent Clinical Supply Services. He added, "Shiga is a key hub

within our Asia-Pacific clinical supply services network, and with these new

capabilities, which are now fully operational, we will offer a comprehensive

range of services, which are customizable to customers' specific needs."

With a network spanning the U.S., U.K., Germany, Singapore, Japan, and China,

plus more than 50 additional global depots, Catalent's clinical supply services

can handle a broad range of international compliance and distribution

requirements to support global clinical trials.
