Medical, Pharma & Cosmetics

A Sector Where Purity and Traceability Leave No Room for Exception

This sector encompasses a wide range of activities. However, they all share one requirement: the purity and traceability of components must never be compromised. Every component that comes into contact with a product or patient must be certified before being integrated, as any failure could compromise an entire production batch or the sterility of a medical device. Hutchinson therefore combines its expertise in materials with washing equipment and ISO 7 cleanrooms to meet these demanding requirements.

Chemical, Laboratory & Medical Equipment

Chemical and laboratory equipment exposes seals and materials to particularly aggressive substances, such as acids and solvents. Hutchinson formulates elastomer compounds that resist these environments while maintaining their sealing properties despite repeated exposure.

Medical equipment, meanwhile, imposes even more stringent biocompatibility requirements, as some components come into direct contact with the human body.

Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Equipment and Packaging

Pharmaceutical and cosmetic equipment encompasses production and packaging machinery. This is a sector where even the slightest sealing failure can bring the entire manufacturing process to a halt.

Hutchinson supports manufacturers with continuous regulatory monitoring and approved materials adapted to the sector's evolving requirements.

Pharmaceutical and cosmetic packaging, by contrast, focuses on protecting the finished product through to the consumer, with seals designed to preserve container integrity without risk of contamination.
