Cellnovo Group, a medical technology company that has developed and markets the first connected all-in-one diabetes management system, today announced the launch of its extended high-volume manufacturing partnership with Flex (formerly Flextronics), for the production and assembly of Cellnovo disposable insulin cartridges. As a global sketch-to-scale™ solutions company that designs and builds intelligent products for a connected world, Flex is the ideal partner to support Cellnovo take the manufacturing of its product to the next level.
The expanded partnership is the continuation of a strong relationship established in 2013, when Cellnovo partnered with the Flex Medical design team in Milan, working on the design and industrialization of Cellnovo’s cartridges. Cellnovo has recently made significant capital and expense investments in the partnership, including tooling for cleanroom-moulded components from Flex’s European Centre of Excellence for precision plastics in Zurich. Assembly equipment will be built at Flex’s FDA-registered Centre of Excellence for automation in Althofen, Austria, with assembly lines tailored and sized to meet Cellnovo’s business needs.
Drawing upon its proven world-class supply chain solutions expertise, Flex will provide all manufacturing services, meeting applicable quality and regulatory requirements. Shipments of subassemblies to Cellnovo’s plant in Wales are expected to begin later this year, with finished products in the second quarter of 2016.
