Company Description

Healthstar has been in the Pharmaceutical equipment manufacturing, rebuilding, & custom automation business since 1983. We are a family owned company with a close-knit team of 25 employees that is expanding due to increased demand.

Our primary business is designing and building Blow-Fill-Seal (BFS) machinery. Blow-Fill-Seal technology is an advanced aseptic manufacturing method primarily used in the Pharmaceutical and Healthcare industries. The BFS process involves plastic extrusion into a set of custom aluminum bronze molds where a container is formed through a blend of blown sterile air and vacuum suction. The mold shuttles under an isolated sterile filling zone where the container is formed, filled with product, and hermetically sealed all in an enclosed iso 5 shroud. HealthStar designs custom parts and molds specific to our clients’ container format, ranging in size from 0.5 ml ampoules to 1,000 ml bottles across a wide variety of designs. BFS machinery is especially popular in the production of intravenous liquid solutions, ophthalmic drugs, respiratory drugs, and unit-dose products.

Given the advantages of BFS as an aseptic technology, our business is growing rapidly as countries across the world look to ‘re-shore’ their drug manufacturing.
