West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. to Acquire Medimop Medical Projects Ltd.

11-Aug-2005

West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc., a global market leader in closure systems and syringe components for use with injectable drugs, announced the acquisition of 90% of privately-held and Israel-based Medimop Medical Projects, Ltd., a leading developer and supplier of disposable medical devices for the mixing, transfer, reconstitution and administration of injectable drugs.

Medimop provides customers with technologies and systems for the reconstitution, transfer and administration of pharmaceutical products in therapeutic areas including multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, vaccines, hormones and blood derivatives for haemophilia. Many drug products, including the majority of recently introduced biotechnology products, require reconstitution at the point of use because they are produced as freeze-dried powders in order to preserve product efficacy during shipment and storage.
