The acquisition to enable DWK Life Sciences to expand precision glassware production
With about 135 employees, Müller + Müller’s manufacturing base produces around 300 million vials per annum.
The company claimed that it produces pharmaceutical packaging as per GMP guidelines.
DWK’s significant investment at Rockwood facility, along with Müller + Müller acquisition, will enable the company to expand its production of precision glassware for primary packaging containers.

The primary packaging containers produced by the company are used in pharmaceutical, biotech and diagnostic applications.
DWK Life Sciences marketing and sales senior vice president Rick Schwartz said: “The addition of Müller + Müller complements our US glass vial production capabilities as we continue to build out our global manufacturing capacity, while increasing regional supply chain assurance.”
DWK Life Sciences manufactures and supplies premium glass, plastics, custom configurations and packaging solutions under brands such as Duran, Wheaton and Kimble.
