Kahl am Main, May 14, 2024 - The MEDLINE production system from SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES, which was specially developed for the processing of contact lenses, is steadily gaining acceptance in the market. In close cooperation with customers, SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES has validated the machine technology required for the processing and production of contact lenses in recent months. The existing system concepts have been optimized and customer-specific process and procedure variants have been developed. The systems are developed and manufactured in compliance with all regulatory requirements in order to ensure the highest product quality, to fulfill the regulations of the international health authorities and, in particular, to comply with the relevant standards and specifications of the GMP and GxP/FDA regulations for the industry.

Stefan Rinck, CEO of SINGULUS TECHNOLOGIES, emphasizes the importance of cooperation with key customers: "Our processing systems were specially developed to clean contact lenses of material residues and then coat them. We have now developed systems in which different types of contact lenses, such as daily and monthly disposable lenses, can be reliably processed." Dr. Rinck adds: "In recent weeks, we have received another order for such a production system. This shows that we are meeting the requirements of the market and our customers with our systems."
