ambassador visits croatia plant

Nipro PharmaPackaging Croatia welcomed Japanese ambassador, Her Excellency Misako Kaji

Colleagues at Nipro PharmaPackaging Croatia, represented by Stephan Arnold (CEO, Nipro PharmaPackaging International) and Kresimir Secak (General Manager, Nipro PharmaPackaging Croatia), recently greeted Her Excellency Misako Kaji (the Ambassador of Japan to the Republic of Croatia) at Nipro’s manufacturing facility in Zagreb.

The embassy itself reported on the visit as follows:

On June 10, Ambassador Kaji visited a glass pharmaceutical packaging factory at Nipro PharmaPackaging where she was able to see the mechanized manufacturing process and thorough quality control. In the medical field, it is expected that Japanese companies that contribute to the world from Croatia will play an active role.

In April, an overseas subsidiary of Nipro Co., Ltd. - a Japanese comprehensive medical device manufacturer - acquired Piramida (now renamed Nipro PharmaPackaging Croatia), a glass pharmaceutical container manufacturer in Croatia. Glass pharmaceutical containers are containers for storing injections and oral preparations, and production is expected to expand in the future.

Her Excellency was impressed when she was introduced to the manufacturing facility as she got to witness first-hand the commitment of all the people involved. She commented that a sense of pride, while working for a company that plays an instrumental role in the pharmaceutical industry, could easily be detected.

The commitment of Nipro to Nipro PharmaPackaging Croatia continues, as the first plans to further extend the capacity and construct a new building.  Her Excellency already promised that she would be delighted to participate in the official inauguration of the new building.

We look forward to greeting Ambassador Kaji again.

“We are happy that Nipro PharmaPackaging Croatia will continue to grow. Our people are our most important assets. In fact, as soon as the plant has expanded, we will be looking for more engineers and specialists.”
