SHL Group – Company visit in Taoyuan

On the 3rd of December, eight of the CITO representatives visited the SHL (Scandinavian Health Ltd) group in Taoyuan, Taiwan. SHL is currently the world’s largest privately-owned designer, developer and manufacturer of advanced drug delivery systems such as auto and pen injectors. The company is involved in the whole production line of their products, including design, manufacturing and testing. Since SHL produces lifesaving devices, the quality and precision of the products are two major factors. Therefore thorough quality tests are carried out to ensure that the products meet the set standards.
