Transport to Avantor
Incoming Inspection
All incoming materials are sampled and tested per Avantor internal
requirements. The inspection confirms that the raw materials meet the
specifications and quality standards Avantor expects from its suppliers
upon receipt and our customers count on us to provide.

Our incoming raw materials are our first line of defense to ensure our
suppliers deliver the value we and our customers expect. One of our key
tools is documented visual guidance on properly prepared raw material
shipments. By comparing the appearance of incoming material shipments
(labels, correct tamper seals, color of the packaging) to images of a
previously released raw material lot, Avantor can quickly identify any issues
before the material is released into production. This type of visual factor
ensures raw materials have not been tampered prior to receipt at Avantor.
