Valor® Glass: The Future Of Glass Packaging Is Here

The growing number of advanced therapeutics progressing to commercialization will require more sophisticated containment solutions for injectable medicines to support increasingly more sensitive and complex molecules as well as combination products. West Pharmaceutical Services has entered into a strategic partnership with Corning Incorporated to bring together West’s leading innovations in elastomer and primary packaging with Corning’s unparalleled glass science expertise.

West is the exclusive distributor of Corning Valor® Glass — the first and only fundamentally new glass composition to be approved by FDA for use as a primary package for an approved drug product since the advent of conventional borosilicate glass more than 100 years ago — which offers best-in-class performance and product support capable of addressing the regulatory challenges and support gaps inherent to the pharmaceutical industry’s drug development pipelines.

This partnership positions West as the complete solutions provider for injectable drug packaging and delivery systems for the pharmaceutical industry with first-in-class, end-to-end containment solutions.
