Rentschler Fill Solutions GmbH, the Austrian aseptic fill and finish services provider, has appointed Dr Margit Klotz as its General Manager Operations, effective 1 August 2018.
In this newly created position, Dr Klotz will be in charge of Process Development & Manufacturing, Quality and Engineering.
The appointment follows on from the announcement that Managing Director Harald Henninger, alongside Reinhold Elsaesser – the responsible for concept and set-up of the company since mid-2016 – will leave Rentschler Fill Solutions following the successful handover of the completed facility.
“Harald Henninger has done an outstanding job in building the company. With his great expertise, he, together with his team, successfully created an operational pharmaceutical business from scratch in record time. His work provides a key basis for the company’s positive development and thus its success," commented Nikolaus F. Rentschler, principal shareholder of Rentschler Fill Solutions GmbH.
Dr Klotz joins Rentschler Fill Solutions from German Rentschler Biopharma SE, where she held positions of increasing responsibility over the last ten years, most recently as VP, managing the Aseptic Filling unit.
“I am delighted that Dr Klotz will continue the successful work of Henninger and would like to welcome her to the management team of Rentschler Fill Solutions,” commented Rentschler. “Dr Klotz combines her extensive experience in the filling of biopharmaceuticals and her long-standing affiliation with Rentschler Biopharma with an extraordinary degree of technical expertise and quality awareness. This puts her in an ideal position at the interface between drug substance manufacturing at Rentschler Biopharma and drug product fill and finish at Rentschler Fill Solutions, in line with our corporate philosophy.”
Rentschler Fill Solutions provides its customers with aseptic fill and finish services of drug products on both a clinical and commercial scale. Both Rentschler Fill Solutions and Rentschler Biopharma have been offering end-to-end solutions for the manufacturing and fill and finish of biopharmaceuticals from a single source with new, state-of-the-art facilities since mid-2017.
Dr Klotz has been instrumental in shaping the content of this partnership.
Rentschler Fill Solutions GmbH, located in Rankweil, Austria, is a contract manufacturing organisation (CMO) for the aseptic filling of liquid and lyophilised biopharmaceutical products.
