UFP Technologies Opens New Clean Room in Massachusetts
UFP Technologies Inc., a producer of custom-engineered components, products, and specialty packaging, has expanded its manufacturing operations in Georgetown, Mass., where the company is headquartered. The addition of a new clean room and high-volume production equipment broadens UFP Technologies’ medical manufacturing capabilities, according to the company.
The new ISO Class 8 (100,000) certified clean room will house a custom-built, high-volume line to support the company’s growing line of components manufactured from medical-grade thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). The TPU components offer a high degree of puncture resistance and flexibility to provide a robust sterile barrier protection, company officials said. UFP Technologies now has a total of five clean environments in Massachusetts.
“Our customers rely on us to continually innovate our manufacturing technologies to meet stringent medical device requirements,” said Mitch Rock, vice president of sales and marketing. “Investing in a new clean room facility and advanced manufacturing equipment allows us to be a valued partner to them.”
UFP Technologies has seven manufacturing facilities throughout the United States that are ISO 13485:2003 certified and house multiple ISO Class 8 (Class 100,000) and ISO Class 7 (Class 10,000) clean-room facilities. The company also manufactures products for other industries, including aerospace and automotive.
