Competence in Plastics & Metal Processing
As an experienced specialist in cleanroom manufacturing, we produce custom components and assemblies up to complete OEM products under controlled conditions. With our unique range of thermoplastic and metal processing methods and our expertise in intelligent material selection, we are able to realize the smallest dimensions, tightest tolerances and highest functional requirements for your product.
The Right Material From Standard to High Performance
Our experts know the high demands placed on materials in the medical and pharmaceutical sectors and support you in the application-oriented selection of materials for your product.
With decades of experience in processing thermoplastics and a deep understanding of their specific properties, we procure the materials that best meet the individual requirements of your product. In addition to standard and engineering plastics, we are familiar with a wide range of highly heat-resistant plastics, glass-fiber reinforced plastics and thermoplastic elastomers. We are also able to offer renewable polymer alternatives to manufacture more sustainable products.
At our US sites, our material expertise in medical applications is enhanced by know-how in the selection and processing of titanium and metal alloys such as 300 and 400 series stainless steel.
Flexibility Through Technological Variety
We rely on lean processes, innovative technologies and a consistent focus on your requirements when it comes to solutions for medical technology, pharma and diagnostics.
At our global locations, we cover a wide range of manufacturing technologies, enabling us to find a suitable, customized solution for individual requirements. Our European sites are experts in plastics processing and offer a unique range of thermoplastic processing technologies in the cleanroom. This is complemented by individual automation concepts and downstream processes to realize your products quickly, economically and in compliance with your quality requirements. In addition, we have a high level of expertise in metal processing at our US sites.

Case Studies
As a solution provider, we combine our expertise in research & product development, materials & technologies, and automation & industrialization with our experience, our quality standards, and our ambition to work with our customers to design a product that meets their individual requirements.
Our case studies give you an insight into the challenges faced by our customers in pharma, diagnostics and medical technology sectors and the tailor-made solutions that we jointly created with them.
Patient-Centric Pharmaceutical Packaging Design
Röchling Medical collaborated with Heidelberg University Hospital to develop optimised packaging designs for and together with patients with motor impairments.
Optimizing a Complex Class 3 Medical Device
By intelligent product redesign, we are able to simplify manufacturing processes, automate assembly procedures and optimize product features.
Innovative Plastic Protectors for Glass Injection Vials
The damage caused by glass breakage is particularly high for expensive or toxic injectables. Röchling Medical developed a smart packaging solution to safeguard those drugs.
Custom Automation Concepts
With our experience and know-how in combining injection molding and assembly, we find intelligent solutions for advanced tooling and automation concepts.
Design for Manufacturability
Challenged to optimise design for manufacturability, Röchling Medical combined three processing technologies for a multi-component container system for use in diagnostic analyzers.
Automated Quality Control
Find out how we solved in-line quality control challenges for containers with peaked bottoms by developing an intelligent automation solution.
Metal and Plastic Processing from a Single Source
To produce a trocar for ophthalmic surgery, Röchling Medical Lancaster combines its expertise in metal processing and injection molding and supplies the instrument as a complete, ready-to-use kit from a single source.
Medical Device Contract Manufacturing
For a complex surgical instrument, Röchling Medical Lancaster is providing full-service contract manufacturing of cleanroom molded parts, supply chain handling of subcomponents, precision assembly and packaging.
A Single Use Medical Device Designed for Sustainability
Röchling Medical applied the principles of Design-for-Sustainability (DfS) to the development of a standard plastic trocar and significantly improved the carbon footprint of the disposable medical product.
Simulations in Product Development
By performing simulations in the product development process of a housing system for an electronic medical device used for life-saving treatments, we were able to save considerable costs and time for our customer.
