PHARMACEUTICAL FIRMS RELY ON ACCURACY OF MCS MEDICAL

MCS Medical's components play an integral part in the production of pharmaceuticals throughout the world. The company manufactures a number of engineered parts on behalf of ITT Industries, the world's largest producer of pumps and fluid technology solutions, which in turn are relied upon by many major pharmaceutical companies.

Justin Rea, Senior Buyer with ITT Industries, comments: "The production of pharmaceutical and bio-processing products is amongst the fastest growing industries, with advances in technology creating the demand for more sophisticated, higher quality processing equipment. Our reputation as a leading supplier of components and systems to the pharmaceutical industry means that we work only with carefully selected precision engineering manufacturers who are able to demonstrate the same commitment to quality as ourselves.

"For example, MCS Medical produces a spindle component for us which controls the opening and closing of valves used in the production and measuring of pharmaceutical fluids. The surface finish of the spindle is absolutely crucial. The tiniest indentation or imperfection would mean the O-ring would not provide a watertight seal and leakage would result.

"We have worked with MCS for over two years and the quality of its components consistently meets our expectations. Equally importantly, it delivers on time and to budget. As a result, we are currently in discussion with MCS regarding the supply of additional components."
