Centor Named APCI's 2025 Vendor of the Year
APCI is proud to recognize Centor, a Gerresheimer company, as our 2025 Vendor of the Year.
Centor is a leading manufacturer and supplier of regulatory-compliant prescription containers used throughout the pharmacy industry. With a strong commitment to patient safety, their products are designed to help prevent accidental drug ingestion while maintaining ease of use for customers. All Centor packaging meets U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) requirements for child-resistant features, as well as United States Pharmacopeia (USP) standards for light transmission and moisture-vapor resistance.
Widely regarded as a market leader for consistent product quality, Centor is also the preferred choice of many robotic pharmacy automation manufacturers, known for its superior machine compatibility and throughput efficiency.
APCI would also like to recognize Alan Krisky, Area Sales Manager, who has managed the APCI account for more than 15 years. Centor has been a valued Platinum Sponsor, attending every APCI event and continually supporting our programs.
We truly appreciate Centor’s partnership and look forward to continued success together.
