About us

A British manufacturer of precision medical polymer components.

Clinical Polymer Technologies has supplied the medical device, diagnostic and life-science sectors with precision polymer manufacturing since 1989.

Our history

From the Laryngeal Mask Airway to a specialist medical manufacturer.

Clinitech Polymers Ltd was established in 1989 by Tony Anthony and John Lewin, both healthcare-sector specialists previously with Dunlop Precision Rubbers in Shepshed. The company was formed to manufacture the Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA), an anaesthetic airway device developed by Dr Archie Brain.

Through the 1990s the business developed a portfolio of specialist medical product lines. Clinical Polymer Technologies (CPT) now operates as part of Clinipol Holdings Ltd — a group of three companies producing precision moulded polymer components for the healthcare and aerospace markets.

CPT has established itself as more than a rubber moulder. The business manufactures niche medical products and provides the skill-sets and facilities required to take a concept through development to fully packaged production.

Mission

To manufacture precision polymer components on which healthcare and medical device customers can rely, delivered to specification and to the regulatory standards required of the sector.

Approach

Long-term customer partnerships supported by measured investment in tooling, materials trials and process development — from low-volume programmes through to established series production.

Values

Precision, integrity and technical rigour, underpinning the complete-package service that has retained our customer base over successive decades.
