02 BIW also has a strategic milestone to announce concerning the new building at Pregelstraße 2 for silicone mouldings. With regard to handling products with especially sensi- tive properties we can now offer our customers solutions developed under clean, controlled production conditions where medical and pharmaceutical technology products and things like technical applications used in the auto- motive industry are manufactured and processed. A medical cell with individual workstations and special technical equipment for manufacturing and processing challenging products had actually been erected by the middle of this year. A class 7 clean room complying with DIN EN ISO 14644-2 was also installed and connected directly to this area, which only selected people are permitted to enter. As a result of the construction of this area, the develop- ment and implementation of special production standards will be systematically continued, as well constant improve- ments. In addition to mouldings all BIW’s other products (e.g. silicone textile-reinforced high-pressure hoses) can also be processed, tailored and packaged in the new area. Medical devices are only produced and certified under controlled conditions in accordance with DIN EN ISO 13485 at BIW. Along with the demand for high product quality we create trust with our management system, which is based on the principles of ISO 9001 and ISO/TS 16949. We are also certified according to ISO 14001 (environmental management system), ISO 50001 (energy management system) and IIP (Investors in People). As a rule special materials which meet the require- ments of our customers are used for medical devices. We are able to call on the many years of experience of our developers and application engineers here. The BIW Technology Centre is well staffed and equipped to meet the special and cleanliness material requirements of our medical and pharmaceutical customers. BIW – that means special products and great expertise! Just as they can for any other industry, silicone moulding products for the medical technology industry can be made with LSR (liquid silicone rubber) and/or HCR (high consistency rubber). The best technical and economic solution is worked out for each individual customer according to requirements and production processes. High hygiene standards and the need for regular cleaning in the medical and clean room area are placing unusual challenges on both our employees and the technical com- ponents there, as special handling instructions, cleaning regulations, and strict work clothing rules have created a new situation for our trained employees. This means that constant support and training for our employees is ab- solutely essential to ensure that production always occurs under clean room conditions. Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you would like to know more about our medical applications. We can develop the perfect solution for your project too.
