Diskussion:West Pharmaceutical Services

Some proposed changes

Hello, I am looking to update the West Pharmaceutical Services Germany Wikipedia page on behalf of Green Room Communications, an agency that works with West (would like to explicitly state this, according to your guidelines). Below, I've listed requested edits, explanations, and links where possible for these suggested changes and for your consideration. I have broken down suggested changes according to sections. Please let me know if you have any questions or if anything else is needed - thanks so much in advance.

Information to be added or removed:

1: In the introductory area, would it be possible to remove the first two sentences ("a company for pharmaceutical products and laboratory supplies in North Rhine-Westphalia Eschweiler with 900 employees. The pump business is a subsidiary of US West Pharmaceutical Services Inc. and the world's largest producer of elastomeric primary packaging for the pharmaceutical industry" and replace with:

West Pharmaceutical Services Germany GmbH & Co. KG is a leading manufacturer in the design and production of technologically advanced, high quality, integrated containment and delivery systems for injectable medicines.

West has manufacturing plants in Eschweiler and Stolberg. Eschweiler is West’s largest manufacturing plant--approximately 28.000 m2 – and includes cleanroom environments. It specializes in manufacturing of elastomer products for the pharmaceutical industry and plays a critical role in delivering billions of components for the packaging and delivery of all types of injectable medicines. It currently employs approximately 760 employees.

The Stolberg facility is approximately 12,000m2, with six cleanrooms. It specialises in highly automated metal, plastic and combination seal manufacturing, as well as cleanroom moulding and assembly. It has been in operation for 28 years servicing pharmaceutical and generics customers. The facility currently has approximately 200 employees. West’s Kiefernweg Campus is situated close to the manufacturing plants. This is a 6,500 square meter campus comprises three office buildings, and an Innovation & Technology center of excellence for the research and development of pharmaceutical packaging components and systems for injectable medicines. It currently employs approximately 185 people in a number of global functions.

2: For the sentence beginning with "In 1968, a participation of West Pharma Services took place and the company was renamed in Pharma-Gummi Wimmer West.", please consider updating to read "In 1968, the West Company became a 45 percent shareholder of Pharma-Gummi and the company was renamed in Pharma-Gummi Wimmer West."

3: For the sentence beginning " In 1982, the pharmaceutical metal division was founded in Vicht and moved to Stolberg in 1990." and consider updating to "In 1982, the pharmaceutical metal division was founded in Vicht and moved to the new facility Stolberg in 1990."

Explanation of issue: We'd like to provide additional information about West facilities in Germany and contextual information.

References supporting change: All information about West Pharmaceutical Services Germany can be viewed in a fact sheet which will be updated via a separate "proposed" edits section to come shortly.
