Gerresheimer Medical Plastic Systems (MPS) is expanding its plant in Dongguan, China, which will become a competency center for injection molding, printing and assembly of medical devices.
The company starts producing price-sensitive products at the German plant in Pfreimd, and transfers them to China through the company's Production Coordination Unit, according to packagingeurope.com.
It successfully transferred the production of two lancing devices in this way.
The Chinese center has been equipped with the entire process chain for lancing devices, besides 15 injection molding machines, two semi-automatic assembly units including welding installations and six Kent printing machines for the pad printing process.
