Catalent, One World Team Up for Compliance Packaging

Catalent Pharma Solutions has entered into a joint marketing and collaboration agreement with One World Design and Manufacturing Group. Under the terms of the agreement, both companies will market One World’s NextBottleT unit-dose compliance bottle to pharmaceutical manufacturers. One World will produce the injection-molded device and Catalent will provide filling and packaging services. The two companies will also collaborate on developing new packaging solutions, focusing on patient compliance.
    
Tracy Tsuetaki, group president of Catalent’s Packaging Services, said, “Helping manufacturers improve patient outcomes and address patient compliance is a key focus for Catalent. Early on we recognized the uniqueness of One World’s NextBottle in addressing this need. Additionally, we realized that pharmaceutical manufacturers would require a robust, cost-effective solution in order to adopt this approach. We are pleased to partner with One World and look forward to working with them.”
   
Matt Coe, One World’s chief operating officer, remarked, “Patient non-compliance is a huge issue in the pharmaceutical industry. When we designed the NextBottle, we wanted to make sure that we designed a package that would improve compliance, have a familiar look and feel, and be able to be filled very easily. We are excited to collaborate with Catalent and leverage their extensive contract packaging capabilities in order to make the NextBottle a success.”
