New Medical Division Excels in Early Stage Product Development

On 1st August, Sevenoaks-based specialist subcontractor Wines launched its new division, Wines Medical. This move reflects the increasing importance of the medical sector to the company, both in terms of current workload and planned future development.

Wines, which has over 20 years experience solving the most demanding of manufacturing challenges, has built a reputation as a valuable "Early Development Partner", offering its blue-chip customers the high level engineering skills that design-out costs and design-in high speed production capability at an early stage of a manufacturing project. These skills are particularly vital when developing medical products as, once the product and its production methodology have been validated, they become effectively "cast in stone" and cannot readily be amended to improve manufacturability.

The company is already working on the development of a highly confidential implant design and also building on Wines' existing medical experience, for example the development and manufacture of small electrodes for use in combating prostate cancer.
