I'd like to discuss the management more in-depth later. But first, I have a basic question. From a general perspective, they primarily manufacture glass vials that contain medicine. Could you elaborate on the complexities involved in manufacturing these products?
Vials are probably the simplest and easiest of all the devices to produce, primarily because they are just glass with no rubber attached. They are the least complex with one end open and the other closed.

Cartridges are a bit more complex for two reasons. Firstly, they have two open ends, both of which need to be accurately formed. Secondly, they are likely to be sold with a flip-off seal or a cap on the thinner end before being shipped to the pharmaceutical company. This means that the compatibility between the rubber, the potential aluminum seal, and the glass needs to be considered.

The most complex to produce are the syringes. They have a flange at one end, which has to be manufactured using fire. The other end is sharp, and a needle may need to be glued into it, or a luer lock adapter may be used, where the needle is not attached, but chosen by the doctor. So, in terms of complexity and entry barriers, it goes from vials, to cartridges, and then to syringes.
