As a leading supplier to the medical device market, we’ve continued to innovate and expand our capacity and capabilities. We’ve made recent investments to compression mold materials such as PEI, PSU, PES, PPSU, and PEEK and enhance our flexibility to offer shorter lead times and lower minimum order quantities. We’ve recently introduced Amidelux, our clear polyamide 12 sheet product ideally suited for applications where resistance to hospital disinfectants and cleaners is critical.
