ACTIVE plant expansion: first fully automated products released for sale
B. Braun has reached a milestone in the expansion of its production facility for medical disposables in Melsungen: the first batches of MiniSpikes and CytoSet components have received market approval and series production has started. The MiniSpikes protect medical personnel from needlestick injuries and contamination, while the CytoSet ensures the safe administration of cytostatic drugs in chemotherapy.

The investment of over 100 million euros includes the integration of existing and new systems into a state-of-the-art, digitally networked production facility, which is intended to ensure security of supply and efficiency in the German healthcare system in the long term. The changeover will bring new challenges for employees, as they will increasingly have to monitor and control digital processes. The new infrastructure relies on state-of-the-art technologies such as driverless transport systems, innovative warehouse solutions, robotics and intelligent control systems. Project manager Artur Bitner emphasised that intensive work is still required to stabilise the processes by the end of the year and to push ahead with the relocation of the machines. The official opening of the plant expansion is planned for mid-2025.
