MIM enhances product quality, reduces lead times and gives rise to significant cost savings of anything up to 50%. As a result of these benefits, our MIM process is now becoming widely accepted as the standard manufacturing technique within a number of industry sectors including:
Medical
Aerospace
Automotive
Industrial
Telecommunications
Gas Analysis
Agricultural
Instrumentation
We supply parts to companies within the UK, Europe, Asia and the USA.
The demand for MIM products in the medical industry has increased further since the recent NICE Guidelines that have reinforced the need for hospitals to switch to single use instruments. The report states that instruments that come into contact with high-risk tissues, for examples during neurosurgery, should, where possible, be replaced with single-use alternatives.
To enable the easiest change from reusable to disposable, new products need to be high quality and match the geometry of existing instruments. Meeting this challenge is where Egide's MIM process is proving very successful. Over 25% of our business is within in the medical industry and we are especially prominent in the production of high quality single use laparoscopic components.
We are already successfully supplying some of the UK's largest medical companies with parts for their single use solutions enabling them to achieve the quality and feel of re-usable parts at prices necessary to be competitive within the single use market.
