Gerresheimer, the German pharmaceutical packaging group, has reported record net income for 2008 to EUR4.5m, compared with EUR1m in 2007.

The company, which manufactures glass and plastics packaging and products such as syringes and inhalers, posted an 11% increase in net sales to EUR1.1bn for the year ending 30 November.

Dr Axel Herberg, chief executive, said: “Gerresheimer again considers itself well equipped to meet global challenges in 2009 and is aming for further substantial growth in the core business.

“Our strategy of internationalisation and focus is bearing fruit. Even in a phase of worldwide economic downturn, pharmaceuticals and life science are still growth markets and, with its broad technology base and worldwide presence, Gerresheimer has a strong position here.”  

Gerresheimer employs 10,200 people in 42 locations in Europe, America and Asia.
