Company social media

Ypsomed is the leading developer and manufacturer of injection systems for the self-administration of liquid medication. As the reliable partner of pharmaceutical and biotech companies for more than 40 years, Ypsomed provides tailored selfcare solutions to meet specific needs. Backed by a proven track record, Ypsomed offers the most comprehensive and innovative platform portfolio for pens, autoinjectors, and on-body devices. Delivered with best-in-class execution and ready to integrate with digital health services, these solutions help simplify therapy and improve the quality of life for millions of people living with chronic conditions.

Clinical Excellence

Ypsomed is a reliable partner dedicated to strengthening the quality and efficiency of clinical trials​, accelerating development with clinic-ready devices and digital solutions.

Clear to Clinic™ provides clinic-ready devices that accelerate trial readiness and reduce study risk. It allows alternative study protocols by providing a fully documented, trial-ready device platform , and provides device-related information supporting efficient submission.

CliniPilot® is an innovative add-on technology available for YpsoMate 1 mL and 2.25 mL autoinjectors, transforming them into smart, connected devices, enabling connected clinical trials. Its seamless integration with EDC (Electronic Data Capture) systems and existing workflows enables automated data transfer and enhances operational efficiency in clinical trials​. Automatic data capture eliminates patient diaries, along with associated human errors and manual documentation burden​.

Modular Platforms

Ypsomed’s self-injection products are modular platforms built for speed, reliability, and scale. Developed and validated in advance, each platform offers a proven starting point that accelerates development and reduces customer project risk, scalable from early clinical trials through to commercial launch. Our platform portfolio is the most comprehensive on the market, and includes our flagship products YpsoMate and UnoPen.

Our platforms are fully developed and tested, with validated designs, pre-qualified components, and supported by an established industrial manufacturing infrastructure. This provides customers with a proven foundation, saving months on the timeline and moving faster to market.

Ypsomed platforms are engineered to support a wide range of drug formulations across a broad spectrum of viscosities and fill volumes. This flexibility is built into the platform architecture, enabling customization without changing the core device design.

Strategic partnerships

For 40 years, Ypsomed has built a network of trusted strategic partners who, just like Ypsomed, serve as key suppliers to our pharmaceutical customers. Over the past 20 years, these relationships have evolved from cartridge-based peptide therapies for pens to include syringe-based autoinjector therapies that meet the needs of both pharmaceutical companies and patients for antibody-based treatments.

While Ypsomed strives to be best-in-class in the development and manufacturing of self-injection devices, we partner with these key suppliers to ensure that the drug–device combination product is delivered quickly, on time, and meets the needs of both pharmaceutical companies and patients.

By nurturing strategic partnerships, pharma customers profit from best-in-class systems which provide reduced costs and shorter timelines during the clinical, approval and commercial phases for each drug product.

Manufacturing

At Ypsomed, we do not just manufacture; we integrate drug delivery expertise, optimize device platforms for patient and drug needs, and scale globally with purpose. Manufacturing excellence is the foundation of our product offering, providing confidence and quality to customers from early clinical phases through to high-volume commercial production. Our global network, flexible infrastructure, and deep in-house expertise ensure speed, reliability, and quality at every step.

Ypsomed manages all critical manufacturing processes in-house, from tool design and manufacturing to injection molding and assembly. These activities are co-located at our headquarters in Burgdorf, Switzerland, allowing for highly efficient coordination and seamless communication between teams. This integration ensures high product quality, fast feedback loops, and full control over timelines and standards.

Services

We offer more than just devices. Our platform ecosystem combines industrialized drug delivery technology with a set of built-in and optional services that support every stage of development. From human factors and regulatory expertise to sustainability and testing, we help ensure each drug delivery system de-risks and accelerates customer launch and supports long-term market success.

We support the full lifecycle of combination product development, from early planning and customization through to industrialization , launch, and post-market support. Our teams engage early and stay involved throughout, helping de-risk the process and accelerate timelines. This approach ensures consistency, efficiency, and quality throughout the entire development process. Experts in design, usability, quality, regulatory, and testing are aligned from day one, ensuring faster decision-making, smoother communication, and consistent alignment from design to delivery.

Sustainability

Ypsomed pursues a long-term corporate sustainability strategy and is committed to acting responsibly towards our employees, our partners, society and the environment.

The increasing adoption of pre-filled self-injection systems provides convenience and safety for patients, but also increases the use of plastics and its impact on the environment. Ypsomed is acting now and has fully integrated responsibility & engagement as one of the key pillars of its corporate strategy. Our commitment to sustainability takes many forms, from the NetZero Program, our roadmap to net zero emissions by 2040, to our ecodesign principles, embedding eco-friendly practices into product design.

Looking further forward, our next generation of platform products will represent a paradigm shift in responsible, sustainable self-injection device manufacturing. Launched in October 2025, our paradigm-shifting, award-winning autoinjector YpsoLoop enables material recovery through a design made for automated disassembly and efficient recycling.

About Ypsomed

In 1984, Disetronic was founded by brothers Willy and Peter Michel in Burgdorf, Switzerland. The successful company was the first to introduce a micro insulin pump to the market. In addition to its infusion systems, Disetronic specialized in injection systems. In 2003, co-founder and majority shareholder Willy Michel sold Disetronic’s infusion business to Roche but retained the injection business. That is how Ypsomed was born. Since then, Ypsomed has written its own success story.

Ypsomed is headquartered in Burgdorf, Switzerland, and operates a global network of manufacturing facilities. More than 2,000 employees worldwide are committed every day to making selfcare simpler and easier.
