Formerra launches Nordic hub to power global healthcare innovation

Formerra, a specialist in performance materials distribution, opens a new warehouse in Malmö, Sweden.

The modern facility will support existing customers with an emphasis on serving the growing production demands of medical device and equipment production in Europe. 

The new Nordic hub underscores Formerra’s commitment to providing tailored solutions to customers where needed in support of meeting the stringent requirements of the healthcare industry. By pairing an expansive portfolio of products from leading suppliers with its expertise in REACH certification and US-manufactured medical-grade materials, Formerra is positioned to help customers navigate the complexities of healthcare regulations, ensuring rapid compliance and market entry.

“With this new facility, Formerra is expanding geographically and, at the same time, intensifying our focus on the healthcare sector, where precision, reliability, and rapid innovation are paramount,” explains Cathy Dodd, chief executive officer at Formerra. “Our Malmö warehouse provides Nordic and European customers with a gateway to advanced material solutions, designed to meet the rigorous demands of their medical applications.”

The Malmö facility is located to ensure efficient distribution across Europe. Likewise, the new warehouse will complement Formerra’s existing presence and warehouses in Ireland and the UK, the result of its acquisition of distributor Total Polymer Solutions (TPS) in April 2023. TPS has officially been renamed Formerra, a milestone in integrating this important acquisition and expanding the Formerra brand and presence into Europe.

Formerra is currently exhibiting at MD&M West in Booth 610.
