Oliver Brück, Head of Technical Management at wezi-med

wezi-med, an expert and system supplier of medical plastic products and components as well as a member of the Weber Group with over 50 years of experience in plastic injection molding and mold making, is now expanding its competencies in cleanroom manufacturing to include hose assembly. The goal is to support companies in the medical and pharmaceutical industries along the entire process chain with innovative products and services from a single source. By developing and manufacturing custom medical-grade plastic products in compliance with the highest standards, wezi-med contributes to patients' health and quality of life.

As an expert and system supplier for medical plastic products, wezi-med continuously develops its products, technologies, and services to support medical companies with innovative and tailored solutions in accordance with ISO certification in a Class 8 cleanroom. With hose assembly, the traditional company based in Dillenburg is expanding its product portfolio, which already includes cleanroom manufacturing, plastic injection molding, tool management and mold making, industrialization, research, and development, with another significant competence. Oliver Brück, Head of Technical Management at wezi-med, explains this step: "We monitor and analyze the German healthcare market and maintain close contact with our customers as well as other medical facilities, manufacturers, and suppliers at all times. It has become clear that there is a high demand in the German market for providers of hose assembly services. We have now successfully closed this gap."

In custom hose assembly, extruded profiles are assembled with various functionally relevant plastic components and fitted with end fittings. These connections include, for example, adapters needed in the operating room to connect to wall outlets or functional components for sealing and media transfer. To meet the high standards required for the manufacture of medical products and components and to ensure maximum functionality, quality, and safety, assembly is carried out exclusively in the qualified ISO Class 8 cleanroom at wezi-med. The Dillenburg team relies on "Made in Germany" and fully consolidates development, manufacturing, and assembly in Germany.

Additionally, wezi-med, a business unit of the Weber Group, supports customers with its validated digital document management system in accordance with FDA requirements during product approval processes, for example by consolidating relevant documents into a Device Master Record (DMR). The use of electronic signatures and audit trails accelerates workflows such as approval processes and makes work steps traceable. The system enables fast, secure, paperless access, transparency, and insight into necessary documents.

With the expansion of expertise and production, the workforce at the Dillenburg site is also growing. Over the next two years, wezi-med will transition its production from a two-shift to a three-shift model. As part of this, the business unit will strengthen its personnel and hire additional employees. Founded in 2010 by the Weber Group, the DIN EN ISO 13485-certified business unit is now an established and well-known partner for medical companies that rely on technical finesse and service from a single source.
