Who makes it
2 companies produce pmdi aluminum canister (coated).
Subsidiary of H&T Group. World's leading manufacturer of aluminum MDI canisters and plastic actuator components. Claims components used in 85% of global MDIs. Operates the Inhalation Product Technology Centre (IPTC) at Blackburn, UK for low-GWP propellant development.
Italian specialty pharmaceutical aerosol component manufacturer (HQ Senago, Milan; private); produces pharmaceutical-grade aluminum canisters for pMDI inhalers as one of the few alternatives to H&T Presspart. EMSAR serves primarily European generic inhaler manufacturers seeking second-source canister supply for risk mitigation. EMSAR's canister production is significantly smaller than H&T Presspart but provides a qualified alternative source for pharmaceutical companies willing to invest in dual-sourcing qualification programs. Italian precision manufacturing tradition in metalworking supports pharmaceutical-grade aluminum drawing operations.
