Item 8.01 Other Events

 

As previously reported in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, following the acquisition of the Tech Group (“Tech”) on May 20, 2005, West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. (“the Company”) established two reportable segments, preliminarily labeled “Pharmaceutical Systems” and “Tech including the West Device Group” which was subsequently renamed the “Tech Device Group”. Prior to the acquisition of Tech, the Company had one reportable segment named Pharmaceutical Systems. As a result of the change in segments, the revised Pharmaceutical Systems segment focuses on the design, manufacture and distribution of elastomer and metal components used in parenteral drug delivery for customers in the pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical industries. The Pharmaceutical Systems segment consists of two operating segments (the Americas and Europe/Asia) which are aggregated for reporting purposes as they produce and sell a similar range of products in their respective geographic regions.  The Tech Device Group segment provides contract design, tooling and manufacturing services using plastic injection molding and component assembly processes for the medical device, pharmaceutical, diagnostic and general healthcare and consumer industries.

 

The Company has restated the composition of the reportable segment information in all prior periods.  The Tech Device Group segment consists solely of the Company’s previously existing Device Group for periods prior to the May 20, 2005 acquisition of Tech.

 

The following table provides restated summarized annual financial information for the Company’s segments:
