Schott Pharma has expanded its Lukácsháza site with a new facility for prefillable glass syringes, which are used for GLP-1 therapies, vaccines, and biologics. Since opening in June 2024, the site has added 120 employees, begun production, and increased capacity.
With RTU cartridges, the company is now looking to add additional manufacturing capacity for high-value solutions to the site, which has sufficient space to support the company's growth strategy. “We would like to express our sincerest gratitude to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade for its support of these two expansion projects. Lukácsháza is not only an important location for ensuring supply security to customers in the region but also makes an important contribution to Schott Pharma's global growth strategy,” says Eva Szabó, Site Manager Lukácsháza.The company is adding a high-tech RTU cartridge manufacturing facility at its Lukácsháza site, featuring advanced equipment, automated processes, and new environmental measures. This will be the company’s second site, after St. Gallen, Switzerland, to produce sterile cartridges.
