With over 70 years of experience in glass production, Stevanato Group is currently the market leader in cartridge systems manufacturing.
Our knowledge ensures high quality glass cartridges for parenteral applications, and they are designed for hand-held or wearable injection devices. These devices are frequently employed for biologic medications like insulin, GLP-1, growth hormones as well as for immunology, oncology, cardiovascular and metabolic disorders.
Cartridges Designed to Ensure Superior Stability and Accurate Dosing for Self-administered Drugs
Glass Cartridges Forming
Glass cartridges converting process
Our highly-accurate glass converting process includes:
Extended 100% temperature control by pyrometers
Monitoring of forming speed (rotation and tool speed)
100% online dimensional controls for the most critical/crucial dimensions and statistical in-process controls
Optimized tool design and use of new materials for improved handling of the cartridges
100% online camera control for cosmetic defects

Our Glass Cartridges are Available as Ready-to-use
Our cartridges are available in a ready-to-use (RTU) configuration. They are pre-washed and pre-sterilized, making them suitable for processing on both new and existing fill-and-finish lines. The cartridges remain nested throughout the entire process, including during freeze-drying, ensuring efficient handling.
Explore the advantages of our EZ-fill® ready-to-use cartridges, crafted to simplify pharmaceutical processes by eliminating the need for sterilization. Learn more about EZ-fill® and EZ-fill Smart® platforms.

Would You Like More Confidence that You’ve Chosen the Right Cartridge Containment Systems?
With over 10 years of know-how throughout the Technology Excellence Centers, we support you in defining and running the best testing protocol to assess the performance and compatibility between your product, the containment system, and relevant delivery devices such as pen injectors.
Our Technology Excellence Centers can be your strategic partner performing comparison and compatibility testing throughout the product development lifecycle. Early testing minimizes the risk of a future re-formulation or container re-validation while in clinical development, or worse to re-call your product after the launch in the market.
