Sunlite Plastics Awarded First Global MedAccred Accreditation for Plastics Extrusion

Sunlite Plastics Inc. has announced that after a rigorous process audit, the company has officially obtained accreditation from MedAccred in plastics extrusion, making it the first company globally to achieve this honor.
 
A provider of custom medical tubing, Sunlite specializes in PVC extrusion. The company manages its PVC manufacturing process in-house and its products are delivered to clients line-ready. Sunlite received MedAccred accreditation for demonstrating its ongoing commitment to product quality by satisfying customer requirements, meeting stringent industry specifications and achieving compliance to manufacturing best practices addressed in the thorough audit criteria. Sunlite is a subsidiary of Diversatek Inc.
 
“On behalf of Sunlite Plastics Inc., we’re thrilled to be recognized for our manufacturing expertise and quality assurance,” said Diversatek Inc. chairman and CEO Brant Stanford. “We have always operated as a partner to our clients, not a vendor. Process is central to this commitment and we pride ourselves on regular evaluation and refinement to ensure consistent product quality and efficacy. Our MedAccred ‘first global’ distinction is a testament to our team’s hard work and to seven decades of experience in high-volume manufacturing.”

MedAccred Accreditation is designed to help medical device companies identify suppliers who provide superior manufacturing processes.

“Achieving MedAccred Accreditation is not easy, especially when you’re the first worldwide to accomplish this in your respective category,” said Joe Pinto, executive vice president and chief operating officer at the Performance Review Institute. “Our first industry audit with Sunlite ultimately lays a critical foundation for criteria that guides other plastic and thermoplastic extruders. PRI is proud to support companies like Sunlite to drive improvement in quality in the medical device industry.”
