What does it take to scale pharmaceutical packaging operations globally while maintaining flexibility, quality, and speed to market? In this episode, we explore how strategic packaging partnerships directly impact patient access and commercial success.
This week on Making It In Manufacturing, Harry Sloan sat down with Peter Belden, CCO of Tjoapack, with over 25 years of experience spanning outsourced pharmaceutical services across small, mid-sized, and large organisations, primarily within packaging and global supply chain operations.
In this episode, Peter Belden covers:
00:00 How pharmaceutical packaging plays a critical role beyond the final step, directly influencing timelines and global market access
01:25 The growing need for late-stage customisation and flexible packaging to meet changing patient demand across multiple markets
02:21 Why successful CDMO partnerships start with deep client understanding, including patient population, dosing, and supply chain needs
03:43 Balancing speed to market with quality through strong planning, collaboration, and supply chain alignment
04:43 Strategic expansion in the US, including facility growth and new packaging lines to support long-term demand
This conversation offers a practical look at how packaging strategy, operational discipline, and global experience come together to support pharmaceutical innovation at scale. If you are involved in manufacturing, supply chain, or CDMO partnerships, this episode provides valuable perspective grounded in real industry execution.
