In the last 12 months, Glazpart participated in two niche events for the medical devices sector.
Reflecting on the success of their 2025 activities to engage with this specialist sector, the Glazpart team is already planning for more events in 2026 to make an even bigger impact.
On October 3rd, Glazpart exhibited in London at the SEHTA (Science and Engineering Health Technology Alliance) International MedTech Expo & Conference which was hailed by SEHTA as a resounding success.
SEHTA welcomed 215 delegates to the event which had 23 Sponsors and Exhibitors, representing the vibrant communities of MedTech, Life Sciences, NHS, and Business Support services.
In the same week, Glazpart also exhibited at Bio-forward 2025, at Oxford Technology Park, hosted by OBN. BioForward is OBN’s ‘Where Companies Go to Grow’ Life Sciences event, designed to provide the support, skills, know-how and industry connections required to enable company growth in this specialist sector.
As a member of SEHTA, Glazpart earmarked both events as opportunities to grow their profile and create awareness of their manufacturing capability to produce innovative products for the medical devices sector.
At both events Glazpart’s team Dean Bradley and Fay Bibi were on hand to share their expertise, show product samples and discuss Glazpart’s role as specialist plastic components manufacturer and supplier to the sector.
Reflecting on the events, Fay Bibi, Custom and Specialty Products Manager shared her views, “Glazpart has been manufacturing and supplying bespoke components for the medical devices sector for over 15 years, so it made perfect sense to sharpen our focus on this specialist sector. Both events were excellent for raising our brand profile and for engaging with potential customers.”
Dean Bradley, Glazpart Sales Director added, “Glazpart operates across many industries but this last year or so we have started to increase our activity to promote our services and products for the medical devices sector. Now we are members of SEHTA, we are attending their niche events where we can promote our services and components and directly engage with key players in the sector. In addition, we have been raised our profile and activity on social media, in the trade media and via partnerships with related sector organisations like SEHTA and GMTA.”
Glazpart is a unique manufacturer having evolved with over 40 years of experience. The company has a diverse range of services including 47 injection moulding machines supported with its own bespoke tool room, controlled manufacturing area (clean area), full assembly services and vast array of surface finishing. Using the latest technology Glazpart delivers a wide range of injection moulded plastic products.
Today, Glazpart is a “one stop shop“ offering a complete service from technical consultation to identify issues and create solutions through to product design and injection moulding capability right through to surface finishing. In addition, Glazpart can also cater for a wide range of secondary processes and finishes these include laser, pad, screen printing as well as hydro-dip (aqua) printing, vacuum foiling and spray painting (including RFI).
Fay Bibi, commented, “With my primary focus on custom mouldings and specialty products, it’s been important to share my knowledge with technical managers and decision makers from a diverse range of companies, many of which were actively looking for innovative plastic injected moulding solutions.”
Glazpart’s services start with its expert technical and engineering teams where customers are supported in the design, development and production of their concepts and ideas. The team assist in ensuring products meet customers’ design and performance criteria whilst optimising production costs to the necessary quality levels. Being based in Banbury, Oxfordshire, also helps shorten delivery lead times and makes the company easily accessible.
Dean Bradley explains, “In the last few years, Glazpart has invested heavily in the latest CAD/CAM software giving an in-house design facility with 2D and 3D software packages to ensure responsiveness, adaptability and accuracy. Rapid design is possible with SLA and 3D printed samples of finished design concepts being made available for fit and function assessment. In addition, some of our recent projects have seen Glazpart’s engineers replace costly metal components with engineered injection moulded replacements saving customers thousands of pounds.”
Glazpart’s focus on the medical devices sector is set to sharpen even more in 2026 with the company already planning to attend medical technology exhibitions next year in Coventry and in Ireland as well as continuing to attend SEHTA events.
Fay Bibi summarised, “Glazpart’s expertise in plastic injection moulding stretches back 40 years but the company needs to remain at the sharp end of the technology to meet the demands of specialist markets such as the medical devices sector. 2025 has been a busy and productive year and we’re looking forward to even more activity in 2026, to help companies in the sector find practical and affordable product solutions.”
