In plain English
West makes the small rubber-and-glass parts that keep injectable medicines safe: the elastomeric stoppers, seals and plungers that close a vial or syringe, plus the prefillable syringes and self-injection devices that deliver the drug. It is the quiet 'picks-and-shovels' supplier behind almost every injectable — and a direct beneficiary of the GLP-1 weight-loss boom, since every Ozempic-style pen needs West's components.
