Innovation & design elevated through advanced digital solutions
Digital Transformation
Innovation is central to our core values. We are committed to staying at the forefront of orthopaedic research, building partnerships with experts, and investing in cutting-edge technology. Our recent Transformation Project embodies this commitment, marking an exciting new chapter with expansions to our facilities, extensive staff training in emerging technologies, and the integration of state-of-the-art machinery. These advancements have enabled us to significantly increase production capacity, boosting operational efficiency and product quality.
Our Commitment to Innovation
Our digital transformation initiative is a crucial part of our strategy for sustainable growth. By investing in advanced digital tools, research, and product development, we are enhancing our operational capabilities and continuously improving patient outcomes. This initiative is also helping us meet our sustainability goals, aligning our processes with eco-friendly practices.
Investing in new technologies allows us to digitise manufacturing processes, creating opportunities for skill development within our workforce. Our team is evolving alongside the industry, with upskilling in design and technology leading to new roles that will keep us at the forefront of innovation.
New Technology Investments
Our investment in cutting-edge equipment has already led to remarkable improvements in efficiency and quality. Our Zünd CNC cutter supports mass production, enabling faster production cycles and higher-quality products while minimising material waste through digital file integration.
Similarly, CNC sewing machines represent another significant investment, initially targeting high-demand products like wrist braces. These machines have reduced production cycles by up to 75%, ensuring consistent quality and responsiveness to market demands.
For hook & loop and webbing components, our new laser cutter provides precision in complex designs, ensuring consistent results and higher productivity. Alongside, high-tech sewing machines are further enhancing our capabilities, helping us maintain our reputation for delivering top-quality orthopaedic bracing products.
Automation and Efficiency
Our automation initiative is streamlining processes across production. Automation enhances efficiency, reduces costs, and minimises environmental impact, all contributing to our commitment to economic sustainability.
These upgrades have also led to substantial changes in our physical workspace. We’ve installed a lift, added windows, and created purpose-designed spaces to facilitate smooth workflows from material reception to quality control and packaging. A new trolley system and Euro boxes enable us to efficiently track orders throughout the manufacturing process, ensuring high standards at every stage.
