Diamond Packaging Launches Kitting Solutions Website

Rochester, NY – Diamond Packaging today announced the launch of a new website to promote the company’s comprehensive kitting services. The site, www.diamondkittingsolutions.com, focuses on Diamond’s broad range of kit building and procurement services for biotech/pharmaceutical companies, contract research organizations, and central laboratories.

Development of the site began in 2011 when Diamond signed an exclusive agreement with VWR International, LLC to exclusively provide an array of kit building services, including just-in-time material procurement, assembly, full service inventory management, requisition printing, finished kit quality inspections, and direct-to-site distribution through its newly-formed Diamond Kitting Solutions division. Diamond provides the labor, materials, and infrastructure necessary to create clinical trials packaging, diagnostic specimen collection kits, and medical device recovery kits.

“We are excited about our collaboration with VWR,” said Jason Aymerich, Vice President of Sales at Diamond Contract Manufacturing (DCM). “VWR’s extensive sales team and marketing approach combined with its world class distribution provides Diamond the platform to meet customer demands both domestically and abroad. Our new website will accelerate our growth by raising awareness and cultivating interest in Diamond's kitting capabilities.”

The site also features individual sections describing Diamond world-class quality systems, package design expertise, and highly-regarded sustainability initiatives. Future updates are being planned, including case studies, a design gallery, and social media components that promise to deliver an even richer user experience.
