Custom Components

As the ready-to-use innovator, Afton has extensive experience with pre-sterilized components. We offer stock, off-the-shelf options, as well as fully customizable products.

Many pharmaceutical companies are turning to pre-sterilized components for a multitude of reasons. Using pre-sterilized components can save time, money, and other key resources. Afton offers the most popular sizes and components in our Ready-To-Fill® stock program. However, we know that these won’t fit all applications. We offer many custom solutions for those needing different packaging configurations, sizes, or specific components for their product or filling process.
