Case Study
Contract manufacturing case study
Challenges:
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, authorities began requesting testing supplies and Keystone Solutions Group knew they could help. From first request to sending out swabs – it was just four weeks.
Solutions:
“Andersen Scientific was willing to jump in and understood how to get there,” said David Furchak, Launch Architect at Keystone. Andersen expedited the validation and packaging of Keystone’s swabs starting in March 2020. “The employees at Andersen have been good about figuring out the best path forward. Their collaboration and willingness to have conference calls at all hours is the key to success.”
Results:
Andersen sterilized two pallets per week from Keystone for over four months – during the peek of the pandemic. Generally, we were able to return the swabs the day after receiving them.
