Freudenberg Medical Expands MA Facility, Establishes it as New Global Headquarters

BEVERLY, MA–Freudenberg Medical has completed construction of a new medical manufacturing facility here that will produce devices and components in medical- and implant-grade silicones, and high-performance plastics. The 36,000-square-foot building includes expanded manufacturing and innovation facilities, as well as Class 8 cleanroom space for molding and assembly. The operation is ISO 13485 certified and FDA-registered.

“The Boston life science cluster is the ideal place for our new headquarters and expanded manufacturing operation," says Dr. Max Kley, President and CEO of Freudenberg Medical. "It brings us closer to our customers, provides access to a strong medtech workforce and allows us to connect with local universities and research institutes.”

Freudenberg Medical has a long history in the region. Its previous operation in Gloucester, MA, had been in operation since 1989 and is a leading processor of silicone and thermoplastic components for medical and healthcare applications.

The ASSEMBLY Show South

ASSEMBLY is thrilled to return to the Music City Center in Nashville, TN for The ASSEMBLY Show SOUTH on May 1-2, 2024. This is a booming time for manufacturing and the U.S. South is right in the heart of the action. According to ASSEMBLY’s most recent annual capital spending survey, the South is projected to account for 31 percent of total spending this year, marking the fifth straight year this region has accounted for at least 30 percent of capital spending in the U.S.

In this session, manufacturers will learn how Quality function deployment (QFD) can transform consumers’ qualitative demands into quantitative parameters that will shape the design of their product and, ultimately, their manufacturing process.
