The demands placed on plastic components for medical technology are constantly increasing: the highest quality standards, comprehensive documentation, and efficient production processes are crucial. How these requirements can be implemented in practice and which technological developments support this effort will be the focus of an informational and networking event hosted by the SKZ Plastics Center and NETSTAL Maschinen AG on June 9, 2026, in Horb am Neckar.
The SKZ center in Horb am Neckar and NETSTAL are hosting an information and networking event on June 9, 2026, titled “Quality in Injection Molding – Requirements and Innovative Solutions for Medical Technology.”
The event is aimed at plastics processors, medical technology companies, and professionals in production, quality assurance, and development. Industry experts will provide insights into current trends and technologies—ranging from fully automated manufacturing in medical technology and innovative solutions in mold making to modern approaches to quality assurance in injection molding production.
Other topics include the use of modern measurement and testing technology, data-driven process monitoring, AI-supported data analysis, and new approaches to greater resource efficiency and recycling in medical technology. The goal is to highlight practical solutions that enable companies to make their manufacturing processes safer, more efficient, and more sustainable.
In addition to the technical presentations, the event offers opportunities for exchange and discussion. Participants will have the chance to network with experts and industry peers, discuss specific challenges, and gain new insights for their projects.
“We are looking forward to this joint event with NETSTAL and to a successful mix of technical presentations and networking with experts from our industry,” says Jürgen Kern, branch office manager of the SKZ in Horb am Neckar. “Together with our long-standing partners, we aim to further strengthen knowledge transfer in the plastics and medical technology sectors.”
