Case Studies

Welcome to our Case Studies section.

Westfield Medical

A successful UK manufacturer specialising in the manufacturing of single use sterilisation barrier systems.

CONTEXT

For 25 out of the 45 years Westfield Medical has been operating, SDS have been supporting their machines and production.

Our Engineers have, during the last two decades, completed installations and carried out upgrades at their Midsomer Norton premises.

SOLUTIONS

Westfield Medical’s area of expertise make them leaders of their field. It wasn’t until we began working with them that we learnt so much about their production, such as that a pill sheet is comprised of over 7 layers! The last upgrade we completed for Westfield was a printing machine that brands medical packaging.

CHALLENGES

• Timescale – due to the nature of their production, we had to keep to a tight timescale.
• Potential disruption to other production lines around the upgrade.

BENEFITS

Benefit One
Reliability.

Benefit Two
Ease of operation for the operators.

Benefit Three
Efficient time scale meant minimal downtime for production.

“We have been working with SDS for nearly three decades and have always found them to be excellent partners in the various projects we have worked on over the years. I would highly recommend SDS to any company looking for engineering support, and further look forward to working with them for another 25 years!”
