Experts in Food & Pharma

Helping create cost-effective, sustainable processes

From design to functional part, we apply our industry leading expertise and pioneering material and processing technologies to develop cost-effective, long-term processing solutions.

Our broad portfolio of safe and compliant engineering materials reduces the risk of contamination and helps minimise recalls and potential brand damage. Improved production and extended meantime between repairs (MTBR) mean better throughput and cost reduction, while our commitment to the circular economy results in less waste and more sustainable ways of working.

  • Unique range of highly detectable materials
  • Near Net Shape capabilities
  • FDA and EU compliant materials
  • Full documentation and traceability
  • Engineered plastic components that outlast metal
  • Less noise, wear, lubrication, and energy consumption
  • Recycling of materials

Our focus How we’re improving Food & Pharma production

Manufacturing and Packaging Equipment (Conveying/Manufacturing)

Our range of high-performance engineering materials can help customers deal with the higher speeds and tighter tolerances required by pharma packaging and food and beverage processing businesses.

Meeting new challenges in Food & Pharma

Partnering with both OEMs and manufacturers helps make ambitious ideas possible, improving food, beverage and pharma processing and packaging.

Our portfolio of detectable, compliant materials, years of expertise and in-market experience means we can also offer our Food & Pharma customers specific guidance on:

  • Detectability 
  • Long-lasting, high wear materials
  • Metal-to-plastic part design
  • Cost-effective material selection

Case study

Reliable part replacement in just a few weeks

Seeing beyond typical material applications, led to an innovative solution.

Working quickly, under huge time pressure, we used our broad portfolio of high-performance thermoplastic materials and rapid prototyping capabilities to help a manufacturer of equipment for the beverage bottling industry find a replacement part solution that improved overall throughput.

Case study

Improving food safety through part detectability

Working closely with both the food manufacturer and the OEM, we used our engineered solutions expertise to help re-design the food safe scraper blades used in their new diary processing tanks. We not only developed highly detectable, food safe materials that mitigated costly contamination risks, and also helped improve the equipment design processes, increasing customer satisfaction and efficiency.
