Long-term cooperation and partnership with our customers is the basis for products that meet the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene. Product protection and patient safety are our top priorities. Our success factors include technological leadership, our expertise and reliable process planning. In addition, we develop customized solutions in accordance with the principles of eco-design and the sustainable use of resources. We support you in the design of high-quality, technically sophisticated plastic articles. From the start of component development through to series production, the highest demands are placed on technology and quality.
High-tech from the start
Components and assemblies are designed with the customer's specific application in mind. Throughout the design and engineering process, our design engineers keep the cost effectiveness of the final component in mind. Product protection and patient safety are our top priorities throughout the development process. To this end, the manufacturing process is tested and documented in four qualification phases, from the start of component development through mold design and industrialization. In the first phase, Design Qualification (DQ), our project managers work with our customers to create a specification sheet detailing all the requirements for the component. Based on this, an appropriate mold concept is implemented.
Your benefits at a glance:
- Our design engineers and project managers work with you to develop customized solutions.
- In conjunction with our in-house mold center, this results in short development times, targeted product optimization and reliable process planning.
With precision to perfection
The contour accuracy of our articles is a critical success factor. To achieve tolerances as low as 5 µm, the tools are machined in our air-conditioned in-house moldmaking center. After hardening, the parts are given their final contour. This process allows reproducibility of each component and ensures quality assurance. To this end, we have our own project support in the precision area for components with the tightest tolerances - as well as our own work planning and interface with the design department. Once the tool has been completed, the second qualification phase, Installation Qualification (IQ), checks that it has been produced in accordance with the DQ specifications.
Our in-house moldmaking department is state of the art:
- Rapid prototyping
- High performance tooling using moldflow analysis
- In-house mold repair
- Stack molds
- Fully automated manufacturing cells.
Fully automated to the target
From the injection molding cell to the automated guided vehicle (AGV) system to the automated packaging system, our cleanroom manufacturing generates fewer particle sources and provides even greater safety in the production of injection molded parts in a low-particle environment.
Fully automatic removal robot
After demolding, complex and delicate parts are removed by a handling robot and stacked on a transfer station.
Driverless transport systems
Depending on the specified batch size, the parts are picked up by an automated guided vehicle (AGV) and transported to another transfer station. This is where packaging automation comes in.
Automated packaging system
A six-axis robot transfers the parts to the packaging system. Here they are automatically double-bagged and labeled. Each bag carries information about its contents on an RFID tag.
Our production technologies.
From the production of individual parts to multi-part assemblies.
We do not hesitate to take on challenges and are always exploring new avenues together with our customers. We react quickly and flexibly to the most diverse requirements at all times: with our in-house mold center, state-of-the-art machinery and technologies such as injection molding, assembly and finishing processes - also as a contract manufacturer.
Thinking ahead

together.
The responsible use of natural resources to protect the environment and the climate is a matter of course for many companies today. However, in areas such as medical technology and pharmaceuticals, regulatory requirements make it more difficult to implement. The focus is on application safety with maximum product protection. Nevertheless, we develop customized solutions that take into account the sustainable use of resources.
Material
We reduce the use of materials through resource-saving article concepts and efficient production processes.
Greenhouse gas emissions
The use of recycled materials, high recyclability and environmentally friendly production conditions can maximize GHG reductions.
Logistics & process
By optimizing the design of the item, stacking and nesting can be improved - maximizing the quantity per package unit and minimizing setup time on the production floor.
Storage &
Energy
Optimized nesting allows for optimal use of existing capacity. The space required for internal and external logistics is reduced, resulting in cost savings.
