Muri, Switzerland — September 2026 — Sustainability has become one of the most important conversations in pharmaceutical packaging. But in highly regulated life-science applications, sustainability cannot be treated as a simple material switch or a marketing claim.

Packaging for pharmaceutical products has to meet strict requirements: cleanliness, product protection, dimensional stability, process compatibility, transport safety, and reliable handling in automated filling environments. Any sustainable concept must work within these realities.

This is especially true for Tub & Nest systems.

Packaging that does more than protect

Tub & Nest systems are an important part of the injectable drug delivery supply chain. They support the safe handling, storage, sterilization, transport, and filling of sensitive products such as prefilled syringes, vials, and cartridges.

For customers, the value is practical: each unit remains structured, protected, and positioned for repeatable workflows. In aseptic filling environments, this can help reduce manual handling, support automated processing, and improve line reliability.

In other words, packaging performance is part of process performance.

Why circularity is complex in pharma packaging

Circularity in pharmaceutical packaging is a relevant goal — but it is also a complex engineering challenge.

In many other industries, sustainable packaging can often be approached through recycled content, material reduction, or mono-material solutions. In life-science and pharmaceutical applications, the situation is more demanding.

The packaging must continue to meet requirements for hygiene, particles, mechanical stability, sterilization compatibility, and line integration. It must protect the product, support validated processes, and remain reliable from manufacturing to filling.

That means sustainability has to be developed carefully and realistically.

From sustainability ambition to technical feasibility

At Fischer Söhne AG, we see sustainability in pharma packaging as a development topic that requires collaboration across the value chain.

The key questions are not only:

Can the material be recycled?

Can the design be adapted?

Can the environmental footprint be reduced?

The more important questions are:

Does the solution still protect the product?

Does it remain compatible with existing processes?

Can it be handled reliably on filling lines?

Can it meet quality and cleanliness requirements?

Can it be scaled in a practical way?

Only when these questions are answered together can a sustainable concept become a real solution.

Responsible manufacturing as a foundation

Sustainability does not start at the end of a product’s life cycle. It begins with how products are developed, produced, and delivered.

For Fischer Söhne AG, this means focusing on responsible manufacturing, practical innovation, efficient production processes, and long-term partnerships with customers. It also means looking at material use, process stability, quality assurance, and logistics as part of the overall sustainability picture.

A packaging solution is only truly sustainable if it performs reliably in the customer’s process.

Tubs & Nests: future-ready by design

The future of Tub & Nest systems will not be shaped by one single solution. It will be shaped by many practical improvements: smarter design, careful material evaluation, efficient production, process-compatible concepts, and close cooperation between packaging manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, filling partners, and equipment providers.

At Fischer Söhne AG, our goal is to contribute to this development with solutions that combine three priorities:

Efficiency. Quality. Circular thinking.

We believe the next generation of pharma packaging must support reliable processes today — while opening the door to more sustainable solutions for tomorrow.

Meet us at CPHI Milan 2026

From 6–8 October 2026, the global pharma community will meet at CPHI Milan at Fiera Milano, Italy. The event brings together companies and decision-makers across the pharmaceutical supply chain — from packaging and drug delivery to contract services, machinery, bioproduction, and finished dosage. Sustainability will also play a prominent role, including the CPHI Sustainability Summit, which takes place alongside the event on 6–7 October.

For Fischer Söhne AG, CPHI Milan is a valuable opportunity to continue the conversation around future-ready pharmaceutical packaging, Tub & Nest systems, process reliability, and sustainable concepts for life-science applications.

How manufacturers of primary containers can benefit from Tub & Nest systems

Muri, Switzerland — If your business turns high-quality glass (or polymer) components into primary containers—for example syringes, vials, or cartridges—you know the real work starts after the forming and finishing steps. What happens next often defines whether your customers experience your product as “ready-to-use” or as “one more thing to manage.”

That’s where Tub & Nest packaging comes in.

The point where “components” become “ready to run”

Many manufacturers in the injectable supply chain source glass tubing or containers and convert them into finished syringe systems. Your customers then expect reliable handling through sterilization (e.g. autoclaving), transport, storage, and aseptic filling—without compromising cleanliness or geometry.

A Tub & Nest system supports this transition by providing:

• protected, structured positioning of each unit,
• stable geometry for automated handling,
• and packaging that is designed to work with common loading and filling concepts.

In short: your syringe can arrive not only as a finished component—but as a process-ready unit.

Why Tub & Nest matters for your customers

In aseptic environments, packaging is not secondary. It directly affects:

• line efficiency (misalignment, stoppages, manual interventions),
• quality risk (particles, scratches, breakage),
• and throughput stability (repeatable, predictable handling).

When your syringes run smoothly on the line, it reflects back on you—because packaging performance is often perceived as part of the product performance.

What Fischer Söhne brings to the table

Fischer Söhne AG develops high-quality plastic tubs and nests off-the-shelf or custom made for life-science applications—designed to support safe storage, sterilization and filling of sensitive products such as prefilled syringes and vials. Our approach is built around a simple idea: packaging should help reduce complexity, not add to it.

In practice, that means focusing on:

• clean, controlled manufacturing and robust quality routines,
• integration-ready designs that fit common equipment concepts,
• standard formats with short lead times where possible,
• and collaborative discussions when customer requirements go beyond standard.

A concrete example: your syringe in our Tub & Nest

Imagine the downstream steps your customers manage every day: incoming goods, unpacking, staging, loading, aseptic filling, re-pack, distribution. Each interface is a potential risk or delay.

A Tub & Nest system helps simplify that flow by keeping the product:

• protected during transport and handling,
• positioned for automated processing,
• and organized for repeatable workflows.

For companies supplying syringes into pharma and biotech programs, this can become a practical lever: less rework, fewer interventions, and a smoother path from component to filled product.

Sustainability is becoming part of the conversation

The industry is increasingly asking how circularity can be introduced—even in material-intensive packaging formats. Several market actors are exploring concepts for recycling loops and reduced environmental footprint. We see this as an engineering topic that requires feasibility checks, process compatibility and collaboration across the value chain—not marketing claims.

Let’s talk shop (not sales)

If you are currently evaluating how to deliver syringes (or similar primary containers) in a way that is ready for aseptic filling, we are happy to exchange perspectives—on line compatibility, quality expectations, and what “ready-to-use” should mean in practice.

Berlin, Germany — On 11–12 June 2026, Fischer Söhne AG took part in the 4th Annual Innovative Pre-Filled Syringes & Injection Devices Conference. The event brought together experts from pharmaceutical companies, medical device manufacturers, and the broader injectable drug delivery community for two days of presentations, discussions, and practical exchange.

Representing Fischer Söhne AG on site were Herbert Kaminski, CSO, and Philip Nehr.

A focused setting for meaningful conversations

Unlike large trade fairs, this conference offered a compact and highly focused environment. That made it possible to engage directly with professionals working on pre-filled syringes, injection devices, primary packaging, combination products, and related development challenges.

For Fischer Söhne AG, the event was a valuable opportunity to present our Tub & Nest solutions for pre-filled syringes and to connect with attendees who are actively involved in shaping the future of injectable drug delivery.

Our brochures were distributed to all conference participants, giving every attendee the opportunity to learn more about Fischer Söhne AG, our expertise in life-science packaging, and our approach to reliable, integration-ready Tub & Nest systems.

Sustainability remains a central topic

A key moment for Fischer Söhne AG was Herbert Kaminski’s short presentation, where he highlighted a topic that continues to play an important role across the life-science industry: sustainability.

The discussion around sustainability in pharmaceutical packaging is complex. Packaging for regulated applications must meet strict requirements for quality, safety, cleanliness, handling, and process reliability. At the same time, the industry is increasingly looking for practical ways to reduce environmental impact, evaluate materials more carefully, and develop circular approaches where feasible.

This is an area Fischer Söhne AG continues to work on. Our focus remains on realistic, technically sound solutions that contribute to more sustainable packaging concepts without compromising the requirements of life-science and pharmaceutical applications.

Tub & Nest solutions for pre-filled syringe processes

Our Tub & Nest systems are designed to support efficient handling of pre-filled syringes in demanding pharmaceutical environments. For customers, the key questions are often very practical:

How can packaging support line integration?

How can components be protected during handling and transport?

How can processes remain reliable and scalable?

And how can sustainability be addressed in a way that fits regulated workflows?

These were exactly the kinds of conversations that made the Berlin conference valuable for our team.

Our takeaway

The conference confirmed once again that the pre-filled syringe and injection device market continues to evolve quickly. Innovation, regulatory expectations, patient-centric design, digital integration, and sustainability are all shaping the next generation of injectable drug delivery systems.

For Fischer Söhne AG, Berlin was a good platform to listen, contribute, and strengthen visibility within a highly specialized audience. We return with valuable impulses and look forward to continuing the conversations started during the event.

Muri, 13 April 2026 — Fischer Söhne’s strength lies in combining two complementary manufacturing worlds under one umbrella: high-precision injection molding (Fischer Söhne AG) and extrusion blow molding for hollow packaging (Fischer Söhne Extrusion AG). Both companies operate from Muri, work closely side by side, and coordinate engineering, production, and delivery to provide customers with a seamless “one-stop” experience.

Two companies, clear focus — one customer interface

Fischer Söhne AG focuses on life-science and healthcare solutions, including cleanroom production and injection-molded components. In our ISO 7 / GMP Class C environment, we manufacture packaging such as tubs & nests for medical syringes and related applications.

Fischer Söhne Extrusion AG specializes in extrusion blow molded packaging—from standard canisters (1–60 liters) to custom designs, produced in mono- or multi-layer co-extrusion processes.

The benefit for customers: clear specialization on the production side, while collaboration behind the scenes keeps projects efficient and coordinated.

“Everything from one source” — shown in a real example

A good illustration is our laboratory canister solution for diagnostic devices. In applications like diagnostics, customers often need more than a container: they need a complete, ready-to-use assembly that fits their device, reduces internal handling steps, and arrives reliably.

This is where the cooperation becomes tangible:

• Extrusion blow molding provides the hollow canister body, optimized for handling and integration.
• Injection molding contributes functional parts, interfaces, or components that are required for the final application.
• In-house assembly and finishing bring it together into a consistent, quality-controlled solution that helps customers save time and reduce coordination effort.

Shared foundations: quality, scalability, and sustainability

Both companies share the same mindset: robust processes, reliable delivery, and practical innovation.

On the sustainability side, Fischer Söhne Extrusion AG has introduced a PCR canister made from 100% in-house recycled rHDPE, created from internal production residues that are collected, re-ground, and processed into regranulate directly at the facility. This is a concrete example of how circular approaches can be implemented without adding complexity to the supply chain.

Why this setup matters for customers

Many packaging projects fail not because of the material or the part design, but because interfaces between suppliers, processes, and responsibilities create friction. The collaboration between Fischer Söhne AG and Fischer Söhne Extrusion AG reduces those interfaces and enables:

• faster coordination between packaging body, functional parts, and assembly
• fewer handovers in development and industrialization
• scalable production with the right technology for each requirement

Muri, 25 February 2026 – Sustainability is not something we “switch on” for a campaign. It is part of how we operate every day. As a manufacturer of high‑precision plastic solutions, we take responsibility for rthe resources we use, the environment we impact, and the communities we are part of. With the latest environmental certificate from PET‑Recycling Switzerland, we demonstrate how consistent PET bottle collection enables us to contribute directly to the circular economy.

Sustainability Begins in Everyday Actions

In 2025, we collected a total of 87 kilograms of PET beverage bottles. This corresponds to around 3,158 bottles, which PET‑Recycling Switzerland processed into high‑quality recyclate. Through this collection effort, we contributed to savings of 231 kg of CO₂‑equivalents and 62 litres of crude oil.

With approximately 100 employees, this equals 32 bottles per employee — showing how small, everyday actions add up to a meaningful environmental contribution.

You can find our environmental certificate from PET Recycling Switzerland here.

Part of a Nationwide Recycling System

PET‑Recycling Switzerland issues more than 13,600 environmental certificates each year to voluntary collection points across Switzerland — including companies, schools and other organisations. Collection efforts differ by location and structure, but all certified sites share the same objective: supporting an efficient national recycling loop that returns valuable materials to the production cycle.

Our contribution is part of this collective system, which is recognised internationally for its high recycling performance and dense network of collection points.

Anchored in Our Sustainability Strategy

The environmental certificate aligns with the priorities described in our Sustainability Report, where we outline our commitments in resource efficiency, responsible production and environmental stewardship. The CO₂ and crude‑oil savings contribute directly to the Environment dimension of our ESG efforts and reinforce our contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals — particularly:

• SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
  This goal focuses on using resources efficiently and reducing environmental impacts throughout the entire product lifecycle. By returning PET bottles into a closed recycling loop, we help conserve materials, minimise waste and support more sustainable production patterns.
• SDG 13 – Climate Action
  SDG 13 calls for concrete measures to reduce greenhouse‑gas emissions and strengthen climate resilience. The CO₂ savings achieved through PET recycling contribute directly to this objective by lowering our environmental footprint and supporting Switzerland’s broader climate‑mitigation efforts.

These results show how everyday behaviour—repeated and shared—strengthens larger sustainability ambitions.

Looking Ahead

We aim to further strengthen our internal recycling activities by improving collection processes, raising awareness among employees and maintaining accessible collection infrastructure. Sustainable progress takes shape step by step — supported by conscious behaviour and collective engagement.

Paris, 22 January 2026 — From 21–22 January 2026, Fischer Söhne AG exhibited at Pharmapack Paris (25th anniversary edition). The show delivered what the community expects at its best: focused conversations, decision-makers on the floor, and concrete next steps. According to the organizer’s post-show snapshot, Pharmapack gathered 6,600+ attendees, 430+ exhibitors, and 115 speakers across 80+ sessions, with 65% international visitors representing 164 countries—a genuinely global forum.

What stood out at our stand

Consistently busy booth. Both days brought a steady stream of qualified discussions. We met many existing customers—a valuable chance to meet key contacts face-to-face—and, more importantly, held in-depth talks with new accounts where projects are just starting or in the proposal phase. Most new opportunities came from Europe; we observed comparatively low U.S. presence this year.

Practical focus: Tub & Nest and CMO capabilities. Conversations centered on integration-ready Tub & Nest for aseptic filling of syringes, vials and cartridges and our contract manufacturing for customized, cleanroom-grade injection-molded components—from material selection and design-for-manufacturing to validation, assembly, and logistics.

Sustainability on everyone’s mind. While the conference agenda again elevated sustainability—listed among the show’s key themes—we didn’t see a single “breakthrough” announcement on the floor. Several of our largest customers approached us directly to co-develop circular concepts for the re-use of recycled plastics from the material-intensive Tub & Nest systems. We’ve already consolidated internal know-how and early ideas, and we welcome collaborative evaluations with partners.

Organization & atmosphere

The on-site organization worked smoothly; when anything was needed, support was quick and effective. Networking remained a strong component—exactly what you’d expect from a mature event with 25,723 connections made across two days.

On site for Fischer Söhne AG: Daniel Stratenhoff, Herbert Kaminski, Dieter Döll, Philipp Nehr.

Our takeaway

Pharmapack 2026 reinforced our direction:

• Tub & Nest as an efficiency lever in aseptic filling.
• CMO services for custom, cleanroom-grade injection-molded parts.
• A growing partner demand for circularity in secondary/tertiary packaging around drug delivery.

We left Paris with qualified new leads, stronger relationships, and clear follow-ups—precisely the ingredients that move projects from discussion to delivery.

We’ve already secured our spot for next year: Pharmapack 2027 will take place on 27–28 January in Paris. See you there.

Continue the conversation

If we didn’t meet in Paris—or if you’d like to explore Tub & Nest, CMO capabilities, or circular packaging concepts for your line—our team is happy to arrange a follow-up (virtual or on site).
