Fresenius Kabi is doing More in America to enhance the supply reliability and availability of IV solutions on our freeflex® IV bag platform.
Several years ago, Fresenius Kabi made the decision to expand its production presence in the U.S. to better serve U.S. customers. As part of a large investment in production and distribution capability, we expanded our Wilson, North Carolina site by adding a state-of-the-art facility for freeflex® IV bag production. The output of this site is supplemented by two FDA-registered plants in Europe. This combination of sites will translate into increased production capacity for the U.S. and shorter lead times for our U.S. customers.
American-made freeflex® IV bags are rolling off the lines to serve patients and clinicians across the country.
The most advanced plant of its kind in the U.S., the Wilson facility features the latest production technology with the capacity to produce millions of high quality freeflex® IV bags every year. With vertically integrated in-line automation, these production lines allow Fresenius Kabi to formulate, fill and package IV products not made with PVC or DEHP in a wide range of sizes and formats, optimizing efficiency and flexibility.
More Supply in America
The addition of freeflex® IV bag production and increased distribution in America will help enable us to:
- Respond faster to competitive shortages and spikes in demand.
- Provide additional capacity to increase the total number of units available to the U.S. market.
- Increase product availability to providers which can help avoid delays in therapy for their patients.
- Reduce the length and complexity of our supply chain to shorten lead times.
- Bring our supply of freeflex® IV bags closer to our end users.
- Provide opportunity and flexibility to further expand our product lines.
In anticipation of the opening of this North Carolina site, Fresenius Kabi has rapidly expanded our IV therapy portfolio in the U.S. with IV solutions urgently needed by the U.S. market. Our full freeflex® IV bag portfolio will offer more than 100 product codes – many with 36-month shelf life.
More Support in America
In addition to our Wilson facility, we’ve transformed our New York and Illinois plants with the latest, state-of-the-art technology and built three new distribution centers in Wisconsin, South Carolina and Nevada. Today, more than 72% of all our pharmaceutical products for the U.S. are formulated, filled and packaged in the U.S. and that number is growing.1
At Fresenius Kabi, our purpose is to help patients gain better access to the life-saving treatments they need – when and where they need them most. That is why Fresenius Kabi is committed to expanding and improving our production and distribution capabilities right here in America.
