Genesis Plastics Welding has completed a $500,000 expansion of its Class 7 clean room to increase production capacity of RF plastics welding and heat sealing of medical devices, supplies and equipment. The construction project doubled the size of Genesis’ original medical clean room.
The medical clean room initiative is only one component of Genesis’ larger corporate expansion strategy. Over the last year, the company has been gearing up for anticipated growth. In 2010 Genesis appointed Tom Ryder as the company’s president and chief executive officer after eight years of service. During the last 12 months Genesis has made several other investments that have resulted in the expansion of key vertical markets, including healthcare/medical and military. Next steps include adding 50,000 square feet of production space and hiring approximately 50 additional employees.
“Our expanded medical clean room is the cornerstone on our new strategic direction,” said Ryder. “With an emphasis on the healthcare/medical market, our medical clean room represents a distinct differentiator in the worldwide medical device, supplies and equipment sector. In addition, our Midwest location gives us an added advantage of assisting the U.S. healthcare/medical market with logistics cost savings.”
Genesis’ expanded clean room meets the medical device clean room requirements of an ISO Class 7 Standard 14644 clean zone for particle count testing. The medical clean room features a number of plastic heat sealing processes including impulse welding, sonic welding and RF welding of both polar materials and non-polar materials. Thermoplastics heat sealing of non-polar materials is achieved using ecoGenesis™, the company’s proprietary technology.
Based in Indianapolis, Ind., Genesis is a plastics welding contract manufacturer capable of producing Class I, Class II and Class III medical devices and sub components. Some of the healthcare and medical device, supplies and equipment Genesis manufactures include inflatable components, oxygen hoods, surgical instrument covers, compression therapy and DVT sleeves, cooling caps, disposable warming blankets, cooling therapy products, fluid bladders, drainage bags and medical balloons.
