Vetter experts share takeaways from Bio 2024

Once again, this year’s BIO International Convention in San Diego brought together a world-class group of industry leaders and innovators.

We had a strong presence at the event, with an exhibit showcasing our state-of-the-art services and a team of experts who reinforced our leadership in clinical and commercial aseptic fill and finish.

As always, the convention provided an insightful forum for key trends and topics across the industry – from evolving market priorities to emerging technologies, new product innovations, and unique scientific advances. And of course, for strategic partners like Vetter, it was a valuable opportunity to spark new connections and nurture thriving relationships.

We asked six Vetter experts who attended the conference to share their biggest takeaways:

Vice President Key Account Management

Lars Hahn

“At this year's event, we once again saw an increase in demand for aseptic filling and packaging services and supply chain security. We were therefore happy to speak with our customers about our planned capacity expansions and investments. This will help us to support our customers and grow sustainably. In addition, the BIO convention is an ideal opportunity for us to pursue one of our key objectives: strengthening long-term customer relationships based on trust, communication and a commitment to delivering exceptional results."
Director Quality Control, Operational Support and New Technologies

Patricia Hoess

In our department, we support the continuous development and optimization of quality control systems and processes. We are constantly looking for new ideas to support our digitalization and automation initiatives, and BIO provided valuable insights into new trends and opportunities for exchange. It was good to discuss AI and it will be interesting to see what opportunities arise in the future. It's also good to see that the industry is constantly evolving in the field of digitalization and quality and that we at Vetter have the same vision of not standing still but moving forward.”
Vetter Development Service, Director Technology and Process Transfer

Carolin Rether

“By actively participating in industry events such as this one, we keep up to date with the latest tech transfer challenges. As we are always looking to improve our processes and services, it is helpful to have a focused insight into the latest industry trends. We look for ways to increase efficiency, achieve the highest possible quality standards and get our customers' products to market as quickly as possible. This year's event reinforced the importance of these efforts. The contact and exchange with other professionals is therefore always interesting and helps to get new ideas.”
Head of Laboratory Quality Control

Thomas Schaedle

“The BIO convention offers a good mix of presentations and networking with experts from different fields of work. It was interesting to see, that complex molecules are becoming more important, which will lead to an increased demand for specialized analytical methods in the laboratories. We are already well positioned in the area of reliable and up-to-date analytical services and will continue to do a lot to ensure that our customers and, above all, patients receive a safe injectable product.”
Customer Project Manager

Jan Freitag

“Within our interdisciplinary project teams, we offer comprehensive support for customer projects and project execution. The BIO conference is always a valuable opportunity to see what we need to focus on to stay at the forefront of aseptic filling and anticipate future customer needs. The lively atmosphere and informative sessions this year definitely highlighted the rapid pace of development in our industry.”
