New Cleanroom houses largest Injection Moulding machine in UK
Essex, UK based Europlaz Technologies has installed a third, class 7 cleanroom as the company continues to expand its medical device manufacturing facilities. Growing demand for complex moulding and assembly has provided impetus for expansion and the inclusion of a 300 tonne Kraus maffei machine, one of the largest moulding machines to be housed in a cleanroom in the UK .
‘Our can-do attitude and emphasis on quality have made this growth a necessity’, says Eddie O’Keeffe, Managing Director of Europlaz. ‘In 2010 we partnered several OEMs on the design and development of new products so production has hit the ground running in 2011.’
Over £500K has been invested in Europlaz facilities in this first stage of expansion and although the new cleanroom was built out of necessity, Europlaz expects this growth to enable the company to expand its partnerships with medical OEMs at home and abroad.
Europlaz has expertise in improving existing devices, in terms of cost or manufacturability, or making a reality of novel idea still on the drawing board. With three state of the art manufacturing and assembly cleanrooms and on site design and tooling facilities Europlaz is well placed to be a one-stop-shop solution.
