We look back on an interesting year in which SMG has made significant progress and also some changes. Weโve experienced exciting developments in our production, seen our teams grow, faced new challenges, learned new aspects of our business and expanded our product range โ with even more work on in the coming years.
Our travels have taken us around the world to meet one another, share beliefs and cultures, and gain valuable insights. These experiences have also helped us to better understand the partnerships we have, strengthen our vision of what weโre doing and striving for and broadening our networks.
It has been our pleasure collaborating with you throughout 2024 and we are committed in strengthening our partnerships even further. Wishing you a peaceful year-end filled with cherised moments alongside your loved ones. Letโs raise a toast to continuing our journey of CONNECTING WITH CARE in 2025!
Warmest wishes,
Anda, Bern, Frank, Ira, Henri, Lan, Leticia, Madelon, Marco, Margie, Miranda, Montse & Yvette

We recently introduced a ๐ง๐๐ฐ ๐๐ง๐ฏ๐ข๐ซ๐จ๐ง๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ๐๐ฅ ๐๐ก๐๐ฆ๐๐๐ซ to our lab equipment, allowing us to test storage conditions at a wide range of temperature and humidity. This provides a twofold gain, first it removes the need for external accelerated aging tests and performing them inhouse. Second, it provides the opportunity to test transport and storage conditions such as a hot truck or a humid warehouse, and the effects on our products.
But thatโs not all!!! We also introduced a ๐ง๐๐ฐ ๐ฏ๐ข๐ฌ๐๐จ๐ฆ๐๐ญ๐๐ซ which will check both incoming and produced adhesives. This makes it easier for our operators to adjust the machines before each new production run, thus reducing waste material. Stay tuned for more innovations! โป๏ธ๐๐ก
As a manufacturing company of medical devices, it is crucial to continuously comply with the ๐๐๐๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐๐๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ฅ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง (MDR). Therefore we started labeling all our CE-marked products with a product label containing a UDI code. The UDI includes:
โ
๐ ๐๐๐ฏ๐ข๐๐ ๐ข๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐ซ (๐๐๐-๐๐)
โ
๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐จ๐๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง ๐ข๐๐๐ง๐ญ๐ข๐๐ข๐๐ซ (๐๐๐-๐๐)
The UDI system improves the traceability, it enhances the safety of devices once they are on the market and supports monitoring by the relevant authorities. It also helps prevent medical errors and combats counterfeit devices.

Last summer, our team enjoyed a fantastic outing in Utrecht. We started the day with a delicious lunch, where laughter and great conversations filled the air. In the afternoon, we participated in an exciting group challenge through the city, working together to answer questions, solve puzzles and to challenge other teams.
It was a wonderful experience that strengthened our bonds and created lasting memories. Overall, the day was filled with joy and a true sense of team spirit.
A big THANK YOU to Puur Events for making our summer outing a success!
Even the strongest men need a little help sometimesโฆas the staggering demand for large and heavy OP-Film rolls is rapidly increasing.
Our new weight lifting tool is just another trick to keep up with the many inquiries (and to spare the back of our machine operators!)
The week of November 13-17 has definitely been the most intense week of the year 2023 for our team. After four full days at the tradeshow MEDICA healthcare in Dusseldorf, Germany, we gathered our guests for what turned out to be an amazing customer event. The best of two worlds. Indispensable counterparts: Eurotape and Somed.
The exciting full day program on Friday 17 was filled with informative seminars by external speakers, interactive workshops by our lab team, and an exclusive tour of our production plant. It is available to download to have a flashback of what we call the highlight of our corporate year.
It has been the perfect occasion to learn more about reusable and single use draping systems for operating theaters. In our industry it is about connecting with care and we have one common goal: to deliver high quality healthcare.
We are proud of our international network and dedicated employees. At Soest Medical Group the best of the world was represented respectfully and peacefully in many ways.
Enjoy the pictures and don’t forget to sign up for the next occasion!
Every hospital management who is supportive of a sustainable strategy should at least consider using reusable high technical surgical textiles in their operating theaters. This video illustrates how Eurotape wash soluble products are applied on reusable textiles and processed in the clean room of an industrial laundry.
