Carclo expands operations in UK with new facility

^{Injection moulder provider, Carclo Technical Plastics (CTP) has expanded its services in the UK with a new facility in Mitcham, Surrey.}

The new facility is dedicated to the manufacture of the BD Vystra disposable pen, used for the delivery of liquid pharmaceuticals. CTP worked with BD Medical to develop and scale-up the device.

The new facility was opened by councillor Stephen Alambirtas and deputy mayor Judy Saunders from the London Borough of Merton.

CTP has invested significantly in new manufacturing space, injection moulding machines, ancillaries and specialist staff in Mitcham to support this and other projects.

CTP’s UK managing director Patrick Ward said: “Carclo Technical Plastics is a specialist contract manufacturer of disposable diagnostic and drug delivery devices for the global medical industry.  The Vystra device underpins CTP’s continued growth within this sector.” 

Carclo has recently expanded its operations across the US, Czech Republic, China and India facilities as it continues its strategy of increasing its contract manufacturing business globally. 

Commenting, divisional chief executive officer Robert Stutzman said: “Carclo Technical Plastics has aggressive plans to continue developing our medical business, supported by Carclo’s engineering skills, global footprint and financial stability.”
