MMP celebrates working milestone with pharma customer
Guest User
When it comes to developing a strong and profitable business in a highly specialised niche, nurturing long-term partnerships with customers and suppliers is one piece of the jigsaw that so often gets overlooked, comments Peter Lucas, co-director of Medical Moulded Products (MMP).
And in a world that is constantly changing, adapting and evolving – and with a big emphasis on technology, human interaction still counts for a lot he adds.
This statement comes following the recent announcement of a successful five-year business partnership with Manchester-based customer Alchemy Pharmaceuticals and the recent manufacture of 17,000 medical devices which help to administer medication into human brains.
Peter says: “Our partnership all began with a Beta product we manufactured in our clean rooms for Alchemy, which we delivered on time and within budget.
“With our collaborative approach to developing only the very best products for our customers, we knew our skillset was somewhat niche and only hoped that we could secure this first opportunity. Five years later our partnership is still going strong and we’re breaking new boundaries in the world of bespoke medical manufacturing.
Ian Harrison, co-owner of Alchemy Pharmaceuticals said: “From the moment MMP delivered our first product we knew we would be in the very best hands. We particularly liked the fact that the clean rooms were on site at head office and that the directors of the business are actively involved at every stage.
“The investment was extremely competitive and we had undertaken our research only to discover that Pete and Gerry had established a business that is completely focused on the niche of medical injection moulding.”
Peter added, “From the outset, our goal is always to ensure we manufacture, test and meet the relevant regulatory and safety requirements for every product we produce and look forward to many more years working alongside the team at Alchemy.”
