Vetter Pharma

Personal and organisational development to realise the value of human capital

Vetter Pharma Fertigungs GmbH & Co is an independent contract manufacturer for the pharmaceutical industry, specialising in process technology for prefilled injection systems. The company’s strategic objective is to become the contract partner of choice for innovation-seeking companies in the pharmaceutical industry. To achieve this aim the company will need to change in both size and scope as additional products and services are introduced.

A critical challenge for Vetter is to preserve and enhance the skills and knowledge of its employees as the company moves to a leading pharmaceutical company. Recognising this, Vetter’s management decided to strengthen its commitment to the development of its staff and the organisation. They were confident that this would have a direct impact on the success and therefore the profitability of the company.

PA Consulting Group was brought in by Vetter to provide expertise in the areas of people development and project management, and to implement a personal and organisational development approach that is aligned to the company’s strategic objective.

"Despite the complex nature of the project, PA gave us excellent support in reaching our objectives within a tight timescale."
