In the past year, Ecoclean expanded its activities in fast-growing future markets such as e-mobility and MedTech. For example, the SBS Ecoclean Group has combined various technologies of the UCM and Ecoclean brands – and is since mid-2021 able to offer the MedTech industry complete turnkey solutions in the precision cleaning business that go far beyond individual production steps.

Fabio Cordaro, Global Business Development Manager explains. “By intelligently combining the offerings of two Group brands, we can cover the entire cleaning process needs of the MedTech industry – from deburring and pre-cleaning after CNC production, intermediate cleaning after grinding and polishing, final cleaning and passivation after final inspection, spray cleaning for transfer to the cleanroom, to cleanroom and packaging solutions. Everything from a single source! In this way, we provide noticeable relief for our customers.”

Solutions for highly regulated markets

In addition to cleaning, the SBS Ecoclean Group offers accompanying services. Manufacturers of medical technology, for example, are confronted with a multitude of new regulations and standards every day. Depending on the market, country-specific legislation in different languages or regulations that affect several business areas or product lines have to be taken into account. This is how we support the MedTech industry in adapting the cleaning process to new regulations: Fabio Cordaro, Global Business Development Manager explains: “As a global provider of turnkey solutions, SBS Ecoclean Group also offers qualified compliance support and a recalibration service to adapt production to the latest requirements. And always in compliance with the latest MDR and FDA regulations. Because our customers worldwide rely on the comprehensive know-how and reliability of our company’s services.”

Traceability workflow

For orthopaedic parts, prostheses, medical instruments and dental components, for example, it is important that the cleaned products can be continuously traced. With the help of SBS Ecoclean Group, manufacturers can easily identify their medical devices through process data collection and audit trails, continuously track them and document this process.

Rainer Straub, Vice President Sales & Customer Service comments: “We are using the combined strengths of the SBS Ecoclean Group to further expand our portfolio – not only in the MedTech sector. By consistently focusing our activities on the needs of our customers, we can open up new markets as a Group.”
