MEDIPACK takes part in the Karl Storz soccer tournament

The 28th Karl Storz Sport Event took place in Tuttlingen on April 13 and 14, 2024.
Instead of an entry fee, participating companies can donate an amount to a good cause. This year, the proceeds will go to the Tuttlingen Women's Shelter.
MEDIPACK took part with a football team and finished 4th out of a total of 21 teams. Of course, this brilliant result had to be celebrated. CONGRATULATIONS !

Easter 2024

The Easter Bunny found his way to us "Medipäcklers" again this year and brought a nice surprise for every employee.

Annual Dinner 2023

Our annual dinner was held in a festive setting in January 2024. ur employees enjoyed the delicious meal and the cosy get-together outside the company. It's always interesting and amazing to see our employees in their "noble guise" and not in their everyday cleanroom outfits. Some of them are hardly recognisable.

A Croatian folklore dance group led by one of our employees performed as a surprise guest. Under guidance, a few brave souls also dared to take their first dance steps.

Succesful COMPAMED 2023

COMPAMED took place in Düsseldorf from 13 - 16 November 2023.
Four busy, exciting and successful trade fair days are over. Our team had many interesting discussions and, of course, our give-away was once again a big hit. COMPAMED is a highlight for us every year.

Barbecue

After work, we enjoyed being together among colleagues over a cozy barbecue. As we we work in shifts, the event took place on two different evenings so that as many employees as possible could take part.

Photovoltaic System

Our photovoltaic system will soon go into operation and will cover a considerable part of our basic electricity needs.
It is planned to install further systems on our roof surfaces.

New Image Film

We really like our new image film. It is dynamic, fresh and shows our competences in beautiful pictures.
Take a look - we are sure you will like it as much as we do.

Successful Completion of Apprenticeship as a Polymechanic EFZ

After four years of apprenticeship, Branko Macura successfully completed his apprenticeship as a polymechanic EFZ in June 2023. A first milestone in his professional career has been reached. We are proud of his achievement and are pleased that he will continue to use what he has learned with us.

MedtecLIVE, Nuremberg

MedtecLIVE in Nuremberg gave us the opportunity to present our latest products and innovations to a wide audience. We welcomed many interested trade fair visitors to our stand.

We are particularly proud of the presentation of our new MEDPUR product range. Our dedicated team has worked hard to develop innovative solutions that meet the needs of our customers. The positive feedback and enthusiastic reactions to our MEDPUR products have shown us that we are on the right track.

Stars in Town, Schaffhausen

The "Stars in Town" in Schaffhausen is probably known as the most beautiful festival in Switzerland. At least that is the opinion of us locals in Schaffhausen. Every year, the organisers succeed in bringing top acts to the charming old town of Schaffhausen and delighting over 50,000 visitors.
MEDIPACK AG enables its employees to buy tickets at half price. It is a big hello every year when "Medipäckler" meet on the Herrenacker, move to the beat of the music, enjoy a beer or a fine drink together and just have a good time. We are already looking forward to the start of the festival in August.

Paper Consumption

Sustainability, conserving resources - buzzwords that are on everyone's lips at the moment. We also want to do our part. Thanks to digitalisation and optimisation of processes and the introduction of paperless filing, we were able to reduce our paper consumption by almost half compared to the previous year. Of course, this is only one step of many, but we'll stay on it.

Christmas Present

Santa Claus flew by and brought a great surprise for every "Medipäckler". The poor Claus had to carry a heavy load; after all, we are about 240 employees.

Las Vegas meets MEDIPACK

This year we "Medipäckler" were allowed to celebrate a very special annual dinner. Finally, we were able to redeem the prize for winning 3rd place at the SVC Awards 2020. The prize, sponsored by Swisscom, included a contribution to our company event.
"Las Vegas meets Medipack" was the motto. Animated by experienced croupiers, roulette, blackjack and poker were played at various tables. If we had played for real money, many a millionaire would have gone home.
Many thanks to Swisscom for the generous support and assistance in the organization and to the company Events 4 Rent for the sympathetic and competent casino implementation.

MEDIPACK Goes On Tour

We are now on the road throughout the city of Schaffhausen. We prominently draw attention to ourselves on one of the new electric buses of the Schaffhausen public transport company (vbsh).

Christmas

Compamed 2022

Compamed took place in Düsseldorf from 14 - 17 November 2022. After last year's fair was not yet at the "pre-Corona stand" in terms of size and number of visitors, this year it was like old times again. We were able to present our extensive range to many interested visitors and, as always, our much sought-after, blister-packed "Toblerönli" were in great demand.

We are in!

MEDIPACK AG is one of the eleven finalists for the IVS Innovation Award of the banks of Schaffhausen.
We applied with the project "New packaging process for high-quality medical instruments and implants".

What is it about?
We have developed a process to produce medical packaging for sharp-edged implants and instruments with the material MEDPUR. This tested material is particularly suitable because there is no abrasion from friction. The product or instruments are not contaminated and remain sterile.

We use this material to produce MEDPURPOUCHES and FIX TRAYs.

Courageous Step for the Future

It was not only the coronavirus which characterised 2020 – there were also other topics, which we tackled.
"Going against the flow" – we have taken this expression to heart and – contrary to what normally happens in a crisis – we are investing in the construction of a new cleanroom.
What prompted us to implement such a project during these uncertain and difficult times?
The increased demand for medicinal packaging requires a larger production area. In addition, our first cleanroom has reached the end of its lifetime and needs to be replaced.

We care about the Future

We are aware of our responsibility towards society and the environment. Sustainability and resource-saving production are important aspects for Medipack, which we allow to flow into our innovations, developments and processes.
We go into more detail in our document Environment & Energy.

MEDIPACK on a Trip

All our employees own a personalized Medipack thermos flask. During the vacation season we launched a competition. The task was to take an original photo together with the medipack bottle. See for yourself what great photos were taken.

The sponsor and initiator of the Prix SVC awards is the Swiss Venture Club, an independent association for the promotion and support of SMEs in Switzerland.

We are delighted and honoured to have been nominated and would love to come home with the award in January.

Bench Campaign in Schaffhausen - MEDIPACK takes part in it

For the third time this summer, the bench campaign will take place in Schaffhausen. Almost 70 creative works enrich the old town of Schaffhausen and offer additional seating. There are no limits to the imagination; the main thing is colourful and cheerful.

The MEDIPACK company also took part in the campaign and designed its own MEDIPACK bench. A group of creative and motivated "Medipäcklern" went on a search for ideas and then implemented them artistically - not so easy with so many good ideas.

See for yourself what came out of it. We think our bench is the most beautiful!

From the idea to its success – MEDIPACK was part of it

Are you familiar with the hit show on the German TV channel VOX called "Die Höhlen der Löwen"? People with exciting business propositions, but who are short on funding, are given a chance here to find investors. On one of these episodes the aspUraclip® project was featured, which captured the interest of the investors.

aspUraclip® is a mini-inhaler for the nose. While inhaling, suitable amounts of the essential oils continuously find their way to the mucous membranes in the nose, helping you to breathe clearly.

The success story had its origins at the Compamed trade fair in Düsseldorf. The inventors of the aspUraclip® were looking for suitable packaging and found it at the MEDIPACK stand. As system supplier we quickly came up with a blister pack for the new product, so the customer obtained everything from one source – including design, film production, tool creation, deep drawing process, right to the production of the sealing lids.

Demand shot up astronomically after the episode was broadcast.

Compamed 2018

From 11th to 15th November 2018 the Compamed took place in Dusseldorf. This exhibition has established itself as a trade fair for the medical supply industry and takes place together with the world's largest medical exhibition Medica. For many years, MEDIPACK AG has successfully participated in the Compamed. In addition to our high-quality products and services for the medical industry, our "blister-packed Toblerönli" are loved by visitors. We had distributed around 3000 pieces during the four days of the fair, and in return we harvested many grateful smiles.

For the Sake of the Environment

If you visit us in Schaffhausen, you can recharge your electric car with us. There are two charging stations available.

Sucessful Apprenticeship

For years we have been training young professional people with great enthusiasm and success in our company. Veton Grajcevci sucessfully finished his apprenticeship as Mechanical Engineer (VET) this summer and can now begin his working life with a good professional knowledge.

We are proud of his achievement and congratulate him on the sucess.

MEDPURPOUCH - Packaging for sharp-edged Products

To find packaging for sharp-edged products is a challenge - We find the solution.
The material MEDPUR is the particularly suitable solution for packages containing sharp-edged implants, because there is no abrasion if rubbing occurs.

Please find more information HERE.

New Clean Room for Foam Inlays

As a system supplier of medical packaging, we also offer foam inlays for packaging. The foam is cut precisely to shape using the latest water jet technology. In the clean room, which has been designed specifically for this purpose, the cut-to-size foam inlays receive subsequent thermal treatment. The treated foam parts are packed together with the product and hold sensitive medical parts securely in the packaging and eliminate the risk of slipping.

Abrasion tests with the material MEDPUR

MEDIPACK AG engaged the company SKZ-Testing GmbH to test abrasion according to ISO 9353:2012-04. A blueish/transparent film with thickness of 0.5 mm, one side rough and one flat, was tested. Testing shows that neither the rough side nor the flat side resulted in any abrasion.

Tests show that the material MEDPUR is most qualified for user-friendly packaging for sharp-edged implants like blisters, pouches (MEDPURPOUCH) etc.

40 years of MEDIPACK AG – the success story of a family company

In 2017 we are celebrating a remarkable road to success based on 40 years of innovative and entrepreneurial thinking and action.

It all started 40 years ago in a small production facility and has since developed into a genuine success story. Today, MEDIPACK AG has a workforce of around 145 employees and delivers high-quality products around the world.

We are particularly proud of our staff. Thanks to their expertise, loyalty and engagement, the company has continued to develop into what we are today – an internationally recognised system supplier of medical packaging.
