Welcome
Company
The core business of Alphial S.r.l. is the transformation of hydrolytic class type 1 tubular glass into ampoules and vials for the pharmaceutical, chemical and cosmetic industries.
Thanks to continuous development and recent considerable investments, the company can now produce also sterile and apyrogenic ampoules, commonly called Ready to Use.
Certificates
These certifications are the assurance that we follow all the rules about manufacturing, systems, and management.
Research & Development
Alphial S.r.l. competitive advantage and name recognition is rooted in the quality of the products, the continuous commitment to research and development, the constantly expanding production capacity and its strong presence on all the international markets.
Primary packaging
Alphial S.r.l. is leader in the production of glass primary packaging for pharmaceutical, chemical and cosmetic use.
Production of glass ampoules and vials is mainly dedicated to contain injectable medications and biotechnological solutions, as well as niche cosmetic treatments.
Inspection systems
Our constantly updated inspection systems ensure the top quality of our ampoules and vials. These processes are the cornerstone guaranteeing to our customers sustained quality and high degree of product reliability.
LS5
LS5 is the result of years of research and in-depth study. It is an innovative project that stands out compared to other sterile and ready to use packaging products currently available on the market. Our RTU vials are sterile, apyrogenic and they are not sterilized through external treatments but exclusively through traditional pharmaceutical process. The control systems we apply are among the most advanced on the market. The top quality of the products and the particularly long shelf life of the sterile ampoules are a remarkable achievement.

A constantly evolving and expanding line-up of machines and a pharmaceuticals department that can process up to 200 thousand pieces per day packaged in controlled environment, LAF per ISO 5 – class A.

Mission
Our objectives are clear and simple:
- to ensure top quality of the product.
- to support the Customers in every phase: from the project groundwork to refining technical and aesthetic details.
- to limit as much as possible the impact of our production on the environment endeavouring to greatly reduce waste.
We have patented a lighter packaging for the sterile ready to use vials, with 40% savings versus our competitors. We recycle almost all our production and packaging waste and we continue researching innovative solutions to go further in this direction.
Our activities are customer centric and we aim to improve our service offering, while always maintaining respect for the environment.
Thanks to our suppliers’ constant support, we select the best raw materials available and we have implemented improvements that have direct impact on the quality of our products. An ongoing investment in terms of money, logistics and skills.
We promote and recommend to our customers the use of glass as eco-friendly and recyclable material. In fact, we believe that plastic is not the only issue when it comes to environmental pollution, as the sustainability of this raw material hangs on our small daily gestures.
