Elasto announces further investment in medical TPEs

Elasto Sweden AB has announced plans to invest in a new TPE production line at their facility in Åmål, Sweden. The plans include twin screw technology, advanced raw material controls, supporting sub-systems and analytics equipment. The new line is expected to come on stream in 2015.

Managing Director Kjell Fagerström commented, “We have a proud history of delivering unique and high-quality products to critical applications in the medical and consumer markets. This is possible due to the high standards we operate to; be it revolutionary new products, advanced compounding processes, in-the-field support or the quality assurance and testing to know our products perform as they should. We challenge ourselves to operate the World’s cleanest TPE factory. This investment is part of our on-going commitment to supply leading quality TPE products and the highest levels of support to our growing medical customer base”.

Elasto Sweden was - according to its own words - the first European TPE compounder to be awarded the ISO 13485 certification for the development, manufacture, marketing and sales of TPEs compounds for the medical device industry. The compounds are offered under the Mediprene brand.
