Starting in February, Switzerland’s Otto Hofstetter AG is expanding its range of specialty injection molds. In addition to its core expertise in PAC and PET, this family-owned company is now engineering and manufacturing molds for the pharmaceutical and medtech industries.

Adding injection molds for medical and pharmaceutical plastic products to its offering, Otto Hofstetter AG enters a new area of ​​ business in February 2021. As a leading international mold maker, the Swiss company has designed and implemented projects for many well-known companies in recent years. To fine-tune its services, processes and quality assurance uncompromisingly to the specific characteristics and requirements of this area of application, Otto Hofstetter AG has now launched its MED business division.

“For almost seventy years, packaging producers around the world have valued our molds for their precision, ease of maintenance and durability, as have PET preform producers for nearly fifty years" says CEO and owner Otto Hofstetter. With its decades of expertise, including numerous projects in the medical sector, he considers this expansion step as only logical.

Otto Hofstetter MED will manufacture injection molds for primary pharmaceutical packaging, as well as medical and diagnostic products and packaging for food supplements.
