Creation Technologies adds cleanroom for medical manufacturing in China
Creation Technologies is investing in a new ISO Class 7 cleanroom at its plant in Changzhou, China, as part of a move into more integrated medical device assembly. The facility is scheduled for completion in March 2027.
The cleanroom is being designed with Grade C environmental requirements in mind, subject to regulatory and technical assessments, according to a press release from Creation Technologies. The company describes the investment as a step beyond traditional PCBA and box-build manufacturing.
The Changzhou site already makes high-reliability PCBAs and complex box-build assemblies for medical and industrial customers. With the cleanroom, it will also be able to take on precision electronic assemblies, subassemblies for medical equipment and suitable assembly processes in a controlled environment. Creation Technologies is also building on its digital manufacturing initiatives, including electronic Device History Records (eDHR), to make production more traceable.
According to the company, the investment is aimed at international medical device makers that are evaluating how to localise production in China, and that need local manufacturing partners.
The project is still in the design phase. Creation Technologies does not disclose the size of the cleanroom or of the investment.
