April 11 (Reuters) - German packaging and medical
equipment maker Gerresheimer is contracted to supply
key players in the market for GLP-1 weight loss drugs, its CEO
Dietmar Siemssen said on Thursday.
"We are serving all key players in the GLP-1 market," he
said during an earnings call. "There are only two key players
there."
The current sales result is thanks to deliveries to these
customers, he added.
GLP-1 is a type of obesity drug such as Novo Nordisk's
Wegovy and Eli Lilly's ( LLY ) Zepbound, which is
administered by injector pens such as those made by
Gerresheimer.
