Our work

Our investment in market leading technology and highly trained, specialist, up-to-the minute staff enable us to become a plastics partner of choice to pharmaceutical and medical clients requiring consistently precise unfailing quality and performance.

Barkston is currently working with a number of OEMs and pharmaceutical clients providing design and engineering advice as well as the necessary systems to manage stock control and deliveries on their behalf. We have worked with clients on a wide variety of projects, differing in scale and nature. We have produced bespoke, individual plastic fabrications such as piping systems for pure water to varied, larger scale productions such as manifolds, culture holders, blood sampling equipment and isolators to suit all market sectors and budgets; we have provided stock items such as baby incubators into specialist hospital wards and are currently in progress to helped develop some next generation equipment such as revolutionary small scale, portable dialysis machines and CAT & MRI scanners requiring precisely machined components. We also stock an extensive range of medical grade plastic which we currently use for our work with prosthetics clients. Tackling MRSA has also been a key business requirement and we have proto-typed and subsequently bulk supplied to a manufacturer of hospital equipment pre printed panels which now replace fabric curtains as mobile MRSA -proof privacy screens and cabinet tops with a new design and PETG plastic in place of MDF wood to result in a bedside trolley for drug administration use within hospitals that is MRSA-proof.

With our superb laser welding technology, highly trained staff and Consultancy Centre as a basis, our future plans include investment of resources and efforts into the more rapid and economic development and manufacture of a Lab-on-a-Chip (LOC) for use in laboratories, universities and medical institutions.

Many pharmaceutical clients approach Barkston because we can deliver exceptional bonding and precise unfailing quality that they have not found elsewhere. We are pleased to continue working with our pharmaceutical clients because we are able to further help their business by adding value in other ways, such as recommending ways to improve product design and manufacturing efficiency.

A manufacturer of hospital equipment requires large amount of pre printed panels to be used as mobile privacy screens. This is the type of thing that used to be fabric curtains on a steel frame but now due to MRSA is all in plastic.
