  • As the demand for refrigerated biologics continues to rise, maintaining precise temperature control and ensuring end-to-end traceability has never been more critical. In the latest issue of Healthcare Packaging, Justin Schroeder, Global Vice President of Technical Sales, discusses how PCI Pharma Services is using digital innovation to enhance serialization, cold chain management, and product integrity across its global operations. With biologics now accounting for over 40% of drugs in development, our ongoing investments in digital systems, cold chain infrastructure, and new global facilities enable clients to bring their injectable and drug-device combination products to market with precision, compliance, and confidence. From implementing the Time Out of Refrigeration (TOR) system to monitor the duration that biologics spend outside of cold storage, to adopting advanced serialization and aggregation technologies, we are transforming how CDMOs can protect high-value, temperature-sensitive therapies.

  • Tariffs are significantly reshaping the global pharmaceutical supply chain, leading to increased cost pressure and operational uncertainty for manufacturers. In a recent article for Pharmaceutical Outsourcing, Zach Rupert of PCI Pharma Services provides a clear and practical framework for understanding where tariff exposure occurs and how organizations can begin to mitigate it. “The Tariff Mitigation Toolkit” explains how changes in U.S. trade policies, duty classifications, country-of-origin rules, and global sourcing models can impact everything from component procurement to final product distribution. It also outlines proven mitigation pathways, such as Foreign-Trade Zones, prototype provisions, and strategic supply chain redesign. As companies reassess their global operations, this perspective offers valuable guidance for future planning.

  • Upcoming Webinar – Save Your Spot! From Clinical to Commercial: Introducing Devices Earlier to Streamline the Drug-Device Combination Journey December 4, 2025 | 8am PST | 11am EST | 4pm GMT | 5pm CET As parenteral therapies become increasingly patient-centric, drug developers are recognizing the importance of introducing delivery devices such as prefilled syringes, cartridges, autoinjectors, and pens earlier in clinical development. Join Bill Welch & Justin Schroeder for an in-depth webinar exploring how making informed device choices in the early phases of clinical development can have a profound impact on scalability, manufacturability, and speed to market later on. Learning Objectives By the end of this session, you will: - Understand the benefits of introducing device strategy and selection earlier in clinical development. - Learn how early alignment between clinical and commercial manufacturing can reduce cost, risk, and time to market. - Explore how integrated solutions can support seamless scale-up from pilot to full-scale production. - Identify key considerations for device assembly, packaging, and testing that enable regulatory and commercial readiness. - Review emerging trends in early device adoption and combination product development. Whether adapting a platform device or developing a custom solution, attendees will gain a practical understanding of how to align early-phase clinical planning with long-term commercial objectives, creating a flexible, efficient pathway from first-in-human studies to global launch.
