New state-of-the-art SGD type I glass plant
SGD Group: a market-driven approach focused on customer needs
18
Producing more than 3 billion glass products each year, and after a 4 year – 200
M€ investment program, SGD is a market leader in glass for the pharmaceutical
and cosmetics industries.
The two sectors increasingly have their own distinctive market dynamics,
industrial processes and client requirements
As a way to focus on the market’s changing demands and evolving client needs,
SGD Group has decided to separate its business activities
For pharmaceutical glass: planned construction of a brand new plant
for Type I Glass, to become fully operational in 2015.
Managed by a highly experienced team,
the project respects all actual compliance and
potential regulatory constraints and compliance
(including FDA requirements)

What is EasyLyo ® ?
2012
24
Conception of EasyLyo ® range
�Asolvex ® Type I glass
�Reduction of glass vial weight :• more bottles per tray• improved heat transfer• reduction of Lyo cycle duration (depending on drug c ycle)
�Bottom reduced push up, minimum engraving
�Radius on the low part of the body (Heel)
�Opening of the neck : controlled up to 7.5mm depth
Optimized design
Specially designed to comply with the specific requ irements of the lyophilization process
� Flat base optimizing heat transfer� 30 % reduction of the vial weight (improved glass d istribution)� Improved durability thanks to a better distribution of the glass� Marked shoulders to improve the filling� Standard 20 mm ISO neck for compatibility with all closures and
reconstitution systems on the market (100% controll ed on 7.5 mm depth)
25
Proven performances
Increased resistance to breakage thanks to the opti mized design of the vial :
� 5 to10 times more resistant than a standard tubing vial in terms of vertical load resistance (pressure exerted during t he stoppering phase in the lyophilizator chamber)
� 2 times more resistant in terms of the radial loadresistance (pressure exerted during the loading/unl oadingof the lyophilizator)
26
Technical study 1Dr Gieseler - University of Erlangen
Achievement : Equivalent heat transfer coefficient
� The team led by Dr Gieseler of Erlangen University i n Germany evaluated the EasyLyo vials for the main lyophilizati on parameters, such as heat transfer coefficient.
� The first results of this study have been published in the European Pharmaceutical Review.
� EasyLyo vials do not exhibit any major difference in terms of heat transfer coefficient compared with premium tubing g lass like TopLyofrom Schott
� Added value for customer : potentially no need to modify the freeze drying cycle when using EasyLyo vials against tubing vials
27
Technical study 2Dr Trappler - Lyophilization Technology
Achievement : Excellent pressure resistance
� Dr Ed Trappler of Lyophilization Technology in the USA looked at the main breakage parameters of the vials during lyophi lization, such as mannitol concentration and fill volume.
� The definitive results were published in June 2010 and are very favourable. They clearly demonstrate the superiorit y of the EasyLyovials in terms of resistance (pressure exerted duri ng the primary drying phase in the lyophilisation chamber).
� In fact, where 100% of tubing glass vials and 80% o f standard moulded glass vials will break, only 10 to 20% of EasyLyo vi als do so.
� Added value for customer : These results are extremely significant, in particular for the packaging of certain cytotoxic m olecules where container breakage can be hazardous to healthcare pr ofessionals.
