Today, we are proud to announce that new extrusion lines have been added to our production plant in Thailand, significantly boosting our production capacity for Optinfusion™ IV Catheter tubing.

For decades, we have been helping to deliver fluids safely and comfortably into a patient’s vein with our Optinfusion™ product line. Optinova’s Optinfusion™ IV catheter tubing offers healthcare professionals a reliable and flexible method to administer patients’ medications or deliver nutrition to them.

“Over the past few years, we have experienced a surge in demand for high-quality medical-grade IV tubing across our markets, especially in Asia-Pacific. In order to support the growing market need, we have decided to invest in new extrusion lines for IV tubing in our plant in Thailand”, says Anders Wiklund, CEO Optinova Group.

The move is a part of our effort to decrease the time to market of Optinova’s world-class medical-grade TPU, FEP and PTFE Optinfusion™ IV Catheter Tubing by locating the capacity close to market needs.

Having been in the business for 50 years, Optinova’s Optinfusion™ IV Catheter tubing is praised for its:

  • precise fluid control,
  • patient comfort,
  • tight tolerances and
  • batch-to-batch quality consistency

Moreover, the new extrusion lines also allow us to broaden our resin portfolio and explore new materials such as ETFE.

At Optinova, we stand out with our unique approach to customer service, always with a touch of happiness, also known as #feelgoodfactory. Our Nordic roots mean that we are easy to work with, transparent in our communications and uncompromising on quality. With 50 years’ worth of knowledge and expertise in the extrusion business, we also provide customers with advanced training on material properties and offer informed counselling for what extrusion solution is best for them.
