Daniel Diffenderfer, Business Unit President for Trelleborg Medical Solutions Europe, says: “We’ll partner with major medical device and biopharmaceutical processing customers to bring products to market faster, with greater reliability and the confidence of in-region manufacturing to reduce supply chain risk. This facility will be a hub for innovation, reducing lead times and strengthening supply chains across Europe and beyond.”
The site includes two new cutting-edge clean rooms and will produce braided hose and silicone extrusions for biopharmaceutical applications. It is Trelleborg’s second biopharmaceutical-processing-focused manufacturing space alongside its BioPharma Center of Excellence in Northborough, Massachusetts, US.
Linda Muroski, Business Area President for Trelleborg Medical Solutions, says: “This is a significant step forward in fulfilling our mission of Protecting the Essential, meaning behind each product we make is a person who relies on us. In Malta, we’ll manufacture critical components for life-saving therapies.
“From single-use bioprocessing solutions to medical devices used by millions, each product must meet exacting standards for quality, regulatory compliance and process control. This grand opening is just the beginning of the next chapter in our quest to be the partner of choice for medical and life science technology companies globally.”
Trelleborg has a long-standing presence in Malta going back to 1961 and continues to anchor itself as a pillar in Maltese manufacturing, developing skills and creating new jobs, with its workforce expected to increase by around 100 employees to meet the new business demands.
Diffenderfer continues: “Malta’s strategic location, skilled workforce and culture of excellence made it the perfect place to realize our vision of bringing in-region production for major life science and medical device companies to Malta as a global partner of choice.”
