West is a good solid company with a great future. They manufacture many consumable products which must be purchased again and again. Needle shields, IV parts, syringe parts, how about Tropicana Orange Juice pull/pour spouts?

This company is nearly $10 below where I ended my last outperform pick. They are a leader in the 'packaging' of biotechnology products. Short term issues on materials costs could affect profitability but this manufacturer should be able to pass on costs to customers who are reluctant to change material components in FDA approved products or those under review.
