SHL Medical partners with Ensera to set up final assembly service

SHL Medical, a world-leading solutions provider of advanced drug delivery systems, and Ensera - the newly rebranded SteriPack Group - a renowned global supplier of secondary packaging and final assembly services to the pharmaceutical industry, enter a non-exclusive strategic partnership. Together, they aim to establish a pre-validated final assembly service at the Ensera facility in Poland, enhancing the overall flexibility of supply chain strategies for their customers. In addition to SHL Medical’s existing final assembly, labeling, and packaging services in the US, this collaboration extends high-quality CMO options to Europe. 

Markus Puusepp, SHL Medical’s Chief Growth Officer, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: “This partnership is a significant addition to the Molly® platform value proposition. We share common values with Ensera, from focus on the customer to a commitment to quality, making the decision to collaborate straightforward.” 

Recognizing the importance of flexibility and time-to-market, especially in clinical production, the partnership with Ensera will offer SHL Medical’s customers highly flexible and personalized final assembly and packaging solutions. This is particularly beneficial for small batch handling in clinical supply and niche markets like rare diseases. Emphasizing the comprehensive capabilities of the Molly platform, SHL Medical aims to deliver right-sized solutions that ensure improved service, faster timelines, and a more streamlined supply chain for its diverse customer base. 

John Ward, Ensera’s VP Pharmaceutical Solutions, commented: “Ensera looks forward to supporting SHL Medical and their customers in providing quality and flexible solutions to a fast-moving market. With an emphasis on creating service solutions designed around specific customer requirements, this partnership will make the process of working with the Molly platform an easy decision.”
