MRPC, a fully integrated contract manufacturer of medical device assemblies and components, has completed a cleanroom expansion project at its headquarters in Butler, Wisconsin in the US.
The eight-month project focused on repurposing existing space within one of its manufacturing buildings into a state-of-the-art cleanroom.
Repurposing the space enabled MRPC to add cleanroom capacity for growth opportunities at its headquarters.
This cleanroom houses multiple new machines including:
- Vertical molding machines to process high consistency silicone rubber (HCR)
- Automated thermoplastic injection molding machines to handle secondary processes
- Automation with vision systems machines, which will check for part critical to quality features

The automation is designed to divert suspect conditions from the production stream.
Automation, which has become a need for the medical device industry, was a priority for this cleanroom as it provides value to the internal team at MRPC, as well as their customers.
