Foster Corporation's state-of-the-art BioMedical polymer compounding facility in Putnam, CT was completed in early 2004 and is in full production today. This facility produces sophisticated medical compounds including nanocomposites, water soluble polymers and other specialty formulations for catheters and cutting edge devices. The facility offers the latest in production and data tracking methodologies that will be an integral part of this facility.
This new 45,000 square foot research and production facility is an entirely clean environment with epoxy floors, filtration and air management systems throughout, including polymer compounding and research areas. Lean workflow design is an integral part of the layout with warehousing, batching, extrusion and packaging in separate and dedicated locations.
Additionally this new facility includes comprehensive manufacturing software and bar coding systems for tracking material from incoming to finished goods. Newly added production and development extrusion lines provide greater flexibility and speed in satisfying customers' needs.
Foster Corporation has a large, equally impressive full-service facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, doing business in the western marketplace and beyond.
