ABOUT US

The Ritedose Corporation is a pharmaceutical company specializing in blow-fill-seal (BFS) manufacturing and outsourcing solutions that has been based in Columbia, South Carolina for 25 years. BFS is a process in which plastic containers are blow-molded, filled with liquid product and sealed in one continuous operation under aseptic processing conditions. The company supports pharmaceutical development and manufacturing that require BFS technology for a drug’s delivery system. Ritedose’s customers range from small startups to large pharmaceutical companies.

 

Ritedose is one of many manufacturers in the United States that utilize BFS equipment. Drawing on decades of experience, it has become an industry leader because of its commitment to the highest quality standards and the incorporation of operational efficiencies. Ritedose has processes and facilities that allow it to adapt quickly to customer needs.

 

With a new $7 million investment, Ritedose has expanded operations and employment in South Carolina with the development of the Ritedose Outsourcing Facility. This 503B facility will manufacture and deliver sterile products for hospitals and healthcare facilities throughout the United States, focusing initially on drugs that are medically necessary and for which shortages exist.
