Integrated productivity – solutions become plannable
Integrated productivity stands for total project implementation, which has been a firm part of
Meding GmbH's philosophy for generations. From the manufacturing of a prototype to tool
development to series production and assembly – everything comes from a single source, and
takes place ideally within seven days.
In addition, we have committed employees who plan, construct and manufacture your
products using modern, advanced manufacturing equipment. In a qualified and controlled
environment, up to clean room class 7, we produce customer-specific and technically sophisticated
plastic parts with a piece weight from 0.01 to 1,500 grams.
develops designs manufactures your product
For our partners in the cosmetics, medical technology, orthopaedics and pharmacy sectors,
this principle of "overall solutions" offers major advantages. In the shortest time, you receive
products which, both in terms of their use and design, precisely meet the users' needs. And
almost before you know it, we put into practice the innovative ideas which you want to use to
open up new markets.
Our decades of experience with plastics, our extensive knowledge of the industry, and on-going
quality awareness form the basis for the tried-and-tested Meding principle. But there is
much more! For finishing, we provide you with additional and comprehensive services:
printing, module assembly, improvement, commissioning and just-in-time delivery complete
the project flow in the best possible way.

From specialisation to the specialists
With Meding, you can count on decades of tradition and experience. Since 1949, when our
firm was set up as a metal-processing company, we have consistently been a trendsetter. At
the same time, the triumph of plastic moulded parts started with the development of thermoplastics
in the 1950s, and this was a process which we followed with great interest. The material
fascinated us more and more, and that is why we started manufacturing plastic parts in
1976.
Since then, and with the same amount of enthusiasm as in 1976, we have concentrated on the
many processing and application opportunities provided by this material. In the years which
followed, we invested in new manufacturing technologies and our own know-how and skills.
With the development and production start of an exact-dosing applicator in 1986, we entered
the sophisticated and extremely interesting market of medical technology, and this was a step
which still characterises us today. This is shown not only by the product range for the entire
health sector, which we continue to develop, but also by the numerous design registrations
and patents which document the passion with which we develop innovative new products.

Quality at the heart of all activities
Technology and automation are the basic requirements for a good product, but it is the interaction
between qualified employees and highly-developed, precise production engineering
which makes it perfect. Our high quality standards form the basis for manufacturing and using
our delicate products, and this is a task which we are happy to accept.
All the medical products manufactured in our company meet, as a matter of course, the requirements
of EU directive 93/42/EEC and the Medical Devices Act. They have carried the CE mark
since 1998. These high quality requirements form part of our living company culture. Regular
certification according to DIN EN ISO 9001 and EN ISO 13485 is not just documented – our
employees and management carry out the process of continuous improvement on a daily
basis. Only physiologically harmless plastics are processed, and these plastics correspond at
a minimum to the recommendations of the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment
and/or European Pharmacopeia. To ensure that this happens, our own measuring and test
equipment is manufactured in-house.
The many characteristics of plastic materials, together with the versatility which processing
offers, constantly give us the momentum to deal intensively with the on-going development of
our products, and to carry out research into improvements for the materials and innovative
processing methods. To achieve all this, Meding GmbH works closely with the "Fachhochschule
Südwestfalen" university of applied sciences and the Kunststoffinstitut (Plastics Institute),
with which, for example, materials suitability tests or migration tests are carried out.
