Polymer manufacturer for the medical industry Gwalia Healthcare has announced a continued investment for its cleanroom capabilities. The South Wales company has recently completed the first stage of its cleanroom development and has now started stages two and three. Gwalia Healthcare has finished the development of two ESD class 7, controlled environment areas dedicated to both injection moulding and medical device and component assembly. The company now has plans to begin stage two and three, which will help it focus on production, R&D and the development of medical devices for clinical trials. All the cleanrooms include new ERP systems to deliver fill control and traceability for all components and assemblies. The development of the new cleanrooms have been in response to Gwalia Healthcare’s growing medical devices business which sits alongside its packaging work for medicines. Speaking about the investment, Rod Parker, CEO of Gwalia Healthcare, said: “For some years now we have been de-commodifying our product range and an increase in high quality high value precision devices is a logical next step.” Article orignally appeared in Medical Plastics News, 4 September 2018
https://www.medicalplasticsnews.com/news/gwalia-healthcare-invests-in-cleanroom-capabilities/ Gwalia Healthcare has launched the Lozenge Range of child resistant nutraceutical complete packs. Gwalia Healthcare offers bespoke contract manufacturing and packaging solutions. The Lozenge packs have been created for nutraceuticals, including multi-vitamins, dietary additives and other health and wellbeing products. The Lozenge complete pack, which consists of a container, injection blow moulded in HDPE and a closure, injection moulded in PP; is available in five capacities. The pack has been tested for child resistance and complies with ISO 8317:2015. This means that whilst it resists opening by children under 52 months within a reasonable period, it is still easily openable by older adults, those aged 50-70. The new range offers high quality child resistant packs available to smaller or specialist manufacturers, in the growing specialist health and wellbeing and food supplements sector.
