Wilson, USA


Our Fresenius Kabi US excellence center for prefilled syringes (PFS) is in Wilson, which is located in the eastern part of North Carolina. The Wilson site is a world-class facility with state-of-the-art, fully automated syringe technologies that are focused on the production and distribution of complex and critical drugs in ready-to-administer delivery systems and diluents, both for Fresenius Kabi and contract manufacturing partners.

 

The plant in Wilson specializes in the formulation, syringe filling, and packaging of aseptic and terminally sterilized drug products and diluents with the advantage of being able to offer large-scale quantities and flexibility in the syringe portfolio and sizes. PFS drug products and diluents are produced on fully automated manufacturing, inspection, and packaging lines in a continuous process under controlled conditions. This highly automated and state-of-the-art manufacturing facility has a unique capability and capacity to launch hundreds of millions of new and existing commercial PFS drug products including biologics, highly active compounds and products (maximum OEL = 1 µg/m3), and products that are sensitive to temperature, light, and/or oxygen.

Highly active compounds, products and biologics can be formulated and filled using modern disposable, single-use system technologies that employ fully disposable or dedicated product contact components to minimize exposure. Products sensitive to oxygen can undergo nitrogen-filling technologies with light-protected palletization to achieve maximum shelf life and market value. All lines are installed with serialization and aggregation (track-and-trace) equipment to meet U.S. DSCSA requirements.

In Wilson, over 50 million PFS ready-to-administer pharmaceutical units are produced annually, including: anesthetic, analgesic, antiemetic, anti-inflammatory, and a host of modifier and inhibitor therapeutic classes. These pharmaceuticals are filled in various configurations of syringes (luer lock and/or staked needle) in volumes of 0.5 to 3 mL. They are inspected and packed in configurations such as nested syringes of unlabeled bulk, as labeled and blistered (singles and/or sheets), and as cases, and/or are kitted with additional product(s). 


This manufacturing facility has additional automated state-of-the-art larger-volume PFS manufacturing lines, flow-wrapped packaging, as well as IV bags and standard solution bags based on Fresenius Kabi’s freeflex® platform. These implementations create a unique possibility to launch products across multiple platforms specific to various product and customer requirements.

To support you with a global supply of your product, our Wilson plant has been inspected by various authorities including the US DEA and FDA, and is capable of serving the worldwide market, including key markets in the EU, Canada, Latin America, and Australia. We are committed to sustainable production, demonstrated by all three U.S. plants obtaining ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management), ISO 50001:2018 (Energy Management), and ISO 45001:2018 (Safety) certifications.

We are proud to offer our partners the possibility of filling their solutions into syringes and freeflex bags in Wilson, North Carolina. Please contact us to find the perfect solution for your formulation, filling, and finishing needs.
