The Medtech Group Expands Assembly Area By 30%

S. PLAINFIELD, NJ (Friday, January 30, 2004) - The MedTech Group, Inc. recently expanded their Class 100,000 cleanroom area to provide additional assembly and packaging capabilities. The new controlled environment provides an isolated area for packaging material and unused equipment. This reduces the likelihood of product contamination while still maintaining close proximity to the workflow.

“Our assembly sector continues to grow as we add more customers interested in full contract services from design through molding, decorating, packaging and sterilization management,” states John Pfaff, VP and General Manager of MedTech. “We rearranged product lines to double the work area and allow for greater one piece work flow manufacturing. This produces greater efficiency and cost savings for our customers.”

Other cleanroom improvements involve the construction of product staging areas and implementation of additional ionization stations for active removal of particulate and passive neutralization of static charge. The acquisition of a laser-etching machine reduces product handling and the need for paper tags on both plastic and metal parts. Improved high intensity lighting, in specific work areas, provides greater visibility when inspecting product.

To improve the overall air quality, an air shower was installed between the gowning room and the entrance to the cleanroom.

“We initiated these improvements as part of our formal Quality Policy that provides for continuous improvement of the value of our products and services.”, states Pfaff.
