Technimark Ireland achieves MedAccred programme accreditation

Technimark Ireland is the first company in Ireland to earn MedAccred programme accreditation.

The plastics manufacturer achieved accreditation for both Plastics Injection Moulding and Plastics Mechanical Assembly at the facility in Longford, Ireland, after successfully meeting the audit requirements set by MedAccred subscribing members – including Baxter, BD, Boston Scientific, Edwards Lifesciences, Medtronic, Philips, Roche Diagnostics and Stryker.

The MedAccred audit and accreditation program is the sole industry-managed supply chain oversight programme for key critical manufacturing processes in the medical device industry.
