Husky Installs First-of-Its-Kind Medical
Molding System in India The integrated injection molding system will produce
blood collection tubes for the global market
Posted On: June 2, 2023
When Husky Technologies celebrated the expansion of its
facilities in India in May, it previewed several initiatives that it would roll
out in 2023. One of those projects has come to fruition today - installation of
the first integrated injection molding system for blood collection tube
production in India.
The system has been installed at CML Biotech Ltd., one of the
largest blood collection tube manufacturers in the country.
The global blood collection tube (BCT) market was valued at
$2.9 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to expand at a compound annual growth
rate a tad over 3% from 2023 to 2030, according to a business report from Grand
View Research. The growth rate in India, by contrast, is forecast to reach a
little over 10% through 2027, according to Entrepreneur India. CML Biotech hopes
to capture a large share of that market using Husky’s ICHOR injection molding
system equipped with Schöttli precision medical molds. The ICHOR system will
enable CML Biotech to improve part quality, weight variations, cycle times, and
overall efficiency of the BCT production process, said Husky in the news
release.
The first of its kind in India’s medical injection molding
industry, the ICHOR system will be monitored in real-time through Husky’s
Advantage+Elite predictive monitoring program. This will ensure that the
performance of the system is fully optimized, and any potential issues are
detected before they impact production, said Husky.
"We sought a trusted supplier, who understood our business
and our challenges. We found this in working together with Husky”, said Paul
Jacob, managing director of CML Group, in a prepared statement. "It’s not just
about producing a BCT for the local market - it is about producing the highest
quality BCT in India for the global market.”
The collaboration signifies Husky’s ongoing commitment to
transforming the manufacturing process of blood collection tubes, and other
medical devices, while making a positive impact on healthcare globally, said
Husky.
