Vacuum forming on offer at Charpak
Charpak can now offer vacuum-forming in a 2700ft2 Class 7 cleanroom at its Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, factory.
Thought by Charpak to be the most modern cleanroom for vacuum formed packaging in the UK, the purpose-built facility was supplied by Airedale Environmental Systems and uses Padana panelling. Charpak's sales and marketing director Paul Smith said: "The demand for custom-designed, plastic vacuum-formed trays and packaging for the growing medical device sector is currently very poorly served by UK-based manufacturers, with much having to be supplied from abroad. This has caused problems with collaboration over design aspects, as well as with general customer service. "Charpak aims to change all this – bringing all the logistical, communication and cost benefits associated with dealing with a 'local' UK supplier – and generally making life easier for the customer."
