This year, AMB in Broakulla will take part in the regular open-house day in Emmaboda municipality, and will have majority of the production departments running from the injection moulding of plastic parts to cleanroom production, surface treatment and final assembly.<\/p>\n
AMB is expert in the surface treatment of plastics, and it has for several years invested primarily in medical technology customers with high standards.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve just upgraded our cleanroom, which opened in 2008,\u201d says CEO Tomas Magnusson. \u201cThe cleanroom is now home to our latest investment, a fully automatic production line for needlestick protected arterial cannulas that will be launched on the market this autumn.<\/p>\n
This single investment amounts to SEK 34 million, mostly in equipment unique to the product. Right now we\u2019re conducting fine-tuning tests, and we hope to have the assembly equipment in operation in time for open house.<\/p>\n
AMB will also present a robotised production cell for Cochlear\u2122 hearing implants, decorative lacquering of hearing aid shells and fully automatic inspection equipment specially designed for these shells.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur high degree of automation with many processes under one roof, means we\u2019re actually able to compete with manufacturers in low-wage countries, something our customers understand. It simply no longer pays in the same way to produce in Eastern Europe or in Asia.<\/p>\n
The company also has a subsidiary, the toolmaker Tingverken in Tingsryd. They too have made themselves known for high-precision products and almost impossible tolerance requirements. They are an important part of the AMB\u2019s concept as a total supplier of medical devices, and some of their tools will be on show to the public.<\/p>\n
In addition to its high-tech equipment, AMB is also at the forefront of lean production, i.e. rational production with order and tidiness in the factory.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo today\u2019s a day when we also want to show off the people who work here, of whom we\u2019re extremely proud. AMB is a totally different company today than it was 10 years ago. Our skilled, dedicated employees were an absolute necessity on our journey,\u201d says Tomas Magnusson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
