Grifols’ supply chain strategy offers lessons beyond saline
PDF 858 kB
When the supply of 0.9% sodium chloride faltered, itexposed an uncomfortable truth: the fragility of globalpharmaceutical supply chains lies not only in rarebiologics or high-tech therapies, but in the cheapest,most basic medicines. Grifols usedthe crisis to showcase its Fleboflex® packaging technology. The polypropylene bags are free from PVC and plasticisers, reducing compatibility issues with certain drugs and aligning with sustainability targets. Because Grifols manufactures the bags itself from raw film reels to sterilised final product it can scale and adjust rapidly, without dependence on third-party suppliers.
