VANCOUVER, Canada, Nov. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Deloitte, an international financial advisory firm, has named Vanrx Pharmasystems as the fastest growing technology company in Canada on its 2018 Technology Fast 50tm list.

"Our mission is to make it possible for more companies to operate world-class aseptic filling operations. If sterile injectables manufacturing becomes more flexible and cost-effective, life-changing therapies can be made more widely available," he adds.

"Business is changing rapidly, and what used to work a few years ago isn't a recipe for what will work in the future," said Erica Pretorius, Partner and National Leader for the Technology Fast 50tm program at Deloitte Canada. "Fast 50 winners are a beacon of innovation and I'm looking forward to how they will change the business and technology landscape in the future."
