About Us

What we do

For more than 40 years, Europlaz has provided design, engineering and manufacturing expertise for the medical device industry. We work across the entire life cycle of a product: from concept design, to manufacturing, to after-market services.

Whether you are looking for a complete turnkey solution, or are just supplementing your internal capabilities, Europlaz has the background and flexibility to meet your needs. We specialise in producing the highest quality plastic injection moulding parts, sub-assemblies and finished medical devices.

The medical device design and development stage involves complex processes that Europlaz aims to make as simple as possible for you. We can manage all aspects from the specification of the tooling, tool commissioning, first samples, validation, production of batches for clinical trials, in house tool modifications – all the way through to the supply of large batches ready for clinical use.
