We successfully completed a major upgrade on one of our coating machines, focused on improving safety, reliability, and efficiency. Over 2024โ2025, our team tackled key risks and implemented critical improvements, replacing outdated components, installing new AC motors, and creating space-saving solutions. And weโre not done yet!

BIG thanks to Safet, Arjan, Danny, and John for their great work! The machine is now safer, more efficient, and ready for the future.
We continuously explore opportunities to enhance both the quality of our products and the physical conditions of our workforce. Recently, we developed an innovative device that not only ensures the quality of our products but also reduces the physical strain on our team. This allows us to strive for top-quality results while maintaining a safe and healthy work environment for everyone. We are proud of this progress and remain committed to investing in the future of both our company and our people!

We had our annual surveillance audit for our certified ISO 13485 quality management system. We are pleased to share that the audit went well, and we are satisfied with the outcome! Maintaining the highest quality standards is a top priority for us, and this audit reaffirms our commitment to our quality policy. We will continue to strengthen our processes and strive for continuous improvement to ensure excellence in everything we do. A big thank you to everyone involved in making this a success! ๐
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!)
