The future continues to look bright at Micro Mold & Plastikos, as the companies announced their latest milestone: Plastikos’ major medical expansion, which was completed in the summer of 2015 and includes more 17,000 square feet of additional state-of-the-art space.
To celebrate, the companies hosted a private, invitational open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony on November 14 for members of the Plastikos & Micro Mold family, friends, customers and supporters.
Micro Mold & Plastikos invested $2 million in brand new medical injection molding machines, robotics, and other supporting auxiliary equipment and purchases during 2015 to outfit Plastikos’ new Medical Division.
At the heart of the medical expansion is an ISO 7 (Class 10,000) injection molding cleanroom that is designed to accommodate eight new medical molding machines. Plastikos’ medical expansion also includes a separate ISO 7 assembly and packaging lab, as well as corresponding medical production support departments (maintenance, toolroom, quality, general office and meeting room space).
Philip Katen, president of Plastikos, commented: “We continue to see a growing need from our medical customer base to take on more advanced manufacturing and component assembly work that expands beyond our precision tool making and scientific injection molding service offerings.”
Plastikos is a custom injection molder that works closely with its sister company, Micro Mold, to provide high precision mold design & fabrication, engineering and production services for small, tight-tolerance applications.
