Highlight the journey of Sterile World Technologies. What prompted the ideation of the brand in this thriving market?
The Indian infection control market has grown up in all aspects of knowledge, awareness, quality, and usage. We observed that the market is changing at a very high pace and the Indian sterilization barrier manufacturing companies are unable to cope with this change.
And therefore, the majority of Biotech, Pharmaceutical, and Medical device is importing the packaging material from European countries. We planned to target this opportunity and be a substitute for the imports. With this clear vision, we formed the company in Feb 2016.
As there was no company in India for manufacturing the packaging material in Cleanroom areas, we decided to create a cleanroom class 100,000 (ISO 8) for the same. We visited different companies across India, Germany, China, Singapore, and Dubai to understand the required quality parameters, technological difference, and the quality control requirements to be an import substitute and also support India’s export.
Kindly throw some light on the various services offered by the company. How do you ensure trust and transparency while providing these services?
SWT is a StartUp India project along with the FDA & ISO 13485 Certified company involved in the manufacturing of single-use sterilization barrier systems, medical device, and disposable medical and surgical products.
We established a set up to manufacture products as per the EN ISO 11607 and EN 868-2 standards. We offer all the Medical Grade Paper infection control products and DuPont Tyvek infection control packaging material in our facility as per the customer’s specific requirements.
We came up with an innovative solution to start the FDA approved Medical Device repackaging unit, which is first-of-its-kind in India. We offer end-to-end solutions from designing packaging, repackaging of medical devices and disposables under class 10,000 (ISO 7), sterilization services, quality control services, and ready to dispatch finished OEM products as per the customer’s need. We are getting lot of inquiries not only from traders but also from Start-Up companies as this project can reduce their initial investment cost and give them a platform to start their business.
What opportunities do you foresee in the current Infection Control System industry, and what are your strategies to leverage the best of this business opportunity?
With India being a billion-dollar market for infection control and the disposables products, a large number of traders and small companies are being instrumental in supplying all these products in small and remote regions. As the Govt. of India is coming up with the price capping of medical devices and controlling the prices of different surgeries, the MNCs are cutting the middle man the traders out of business and are approaching hospitals or the end-users directly. Therefore, we plan to support the traders or small companies by offering them end-to-end support to launch their infection control brand and help India become self-dependent.
