The Symposium – being held on Thursday 24th October at brand owner Henkel’s facility in Tallaght – is open to anybody involved in the manufacture of medical or wellness devices. The open day will address many of the common challenges facing the sector in terms of design, production, sustainability and regulations.
LOCTITE has been involved in the medical device sector for over four decades and today offers 70 adhesives in five key technologies. Many new solutions are created at its Dublin Centre of Excellence, which became Henkel’s first site worldwide to receive ‘My Green Lab Green Certification’ status.
My Green Lab, a non-profit organisation, works closely with labs all over the world to support them in achieving their sustainability goals. The My Green Lab Green certification was awarded in the summer of 2023, recognising the extensive work carried out to reduce its environmental impact. It also acknowledges the implementation of sustainable practices, energy efficiency measures, and waste reduction strategies.
As well as learning about LOCTITE’s latest innovations to support medical device manufacturers, there will be private surgeries where LOCTITE engineers & chemists can answer visitors’ questions confidentially. Free follow-up line surveys will also be available.
“Sustainability and health & safety are key focuses for Henkel and the ‘My Green Lab’ certified facility in Dublin is part of this commitment,” said Paul Marshall, Marketing Head at Henkel Adhesives. “Our equipment solutions offer real H&S benefits to operators, reduce waste, and increase the speed and accuracy with which adhesive is applied, and we look forward to welcoming and sharing our insights with Symposium guests.”
