Made of Type I glass in a variety of sizes and capacities, our glass vials provide exceptional chemical resistance, ensuring the safe storage of liquid drugs—from chemicals and vaccines to complex proteins—as well as lyophilized drugs like biologics.

As the leading choice for storing parenteral drugs, Stevanato Group’s vials offer pharmaceutical companies a reliable, long-term storage solution for injectable medications.

Renowned for their dimensional accuracy, chemical resistance, and excellent inspectability, our vials ensure highly efficient fill-and-finish processes, optimized drug-container interactions, and robust container closure integrity (CCI).

We are certified ISO 9001 and ISO 15378, and the Type I glass tube used for vial production complies with PH.Eur., USP, and JP.

In our portfolio, we offer vials with various features to suit different medicines and needs. Nexa®, Fina®, LDP, and Microvials meet the specific requirements of diverse applications.

Ready-to-use Vials to Simplify the Overall Filling Process

Producing small batches of customized medications and high-value pharmaceuticals can pose significant challenges for fill-and-finish operations. These processes demand higher quality containers and increased flexibility, as frequent changes between different medications are necessary to minimize costly waste.

Our vials are also available in a ready-to-use (RTU) configuration and today we are the world’s largest manufacturer of pre-sterilized vials.

Our EZ-fill® Vials are pre-washed and pre-sterilized, making them suitable for processing on both new and existing fill-and-finish lines. The vials remain nested throughout the entire process, including during freeze-drying, ensuring efficient handling.

Discover the benefits of our EZ-fill® ready-to-use vials, designed to streamline pharmaceutical processes by reducing the need for additional sterilization. Learn more about EZ-fill® and EZ-fill Smart® platforms.

Customized Vial Solutions for Various Pharmaceutical Applications

With full control over geometry and surface chemistry, our vials can be tailored to meet the different needs of biopharmaceutical customers.

We can produce a whole range of different neck finishes to meet the needs of specific applications. Beyond standard collar, our portfolio ranges from widely adopted European or American Blowback to specialized designs such as sealing bead, screw neck and more.

Beyond dimensions and design, our glass vials can be customized with special features like internal siliconization, Ammonium Sulfate Treatment, Printing.
