  • ADDEV Parafix Expands Production Capabilities with a Facility-Scale Modular Cleanroom

    With over 50 years of expertise in converting, ADDEV Parafix is a key player in the transformation of high-performance materials across Healthcare & Wellness, Industry, and Electronics. The company partners with leading global material manufacturers, converting flexible materials such as medical-grade adhesives, technical films, foams, nonwovens, and membranes into customised, ready-to-use solutions. In recent years, strong growth across MedTech, pharmaceuticals, life sciences, and personal care has driven increased demand for precision manufacturing within controlled environments. To support both its long-standing customers and new opportunities, ADDEV Parafix initiated a major expansion of its production capabilities.

    Following a relocation to larger premises, ADDEV Parafix identified the need for a new ISO Class 7/8 certified cleanroom capable of supporting higher production volumes and increasingly complex converting processes. The objective was to go beyond capacity expansion and create a controlled environment fully aligned with operational realities and regulatory expectations.

    Key requirements included:

    1. Supporting multi-zone production workflows
    2. Maintaining strict separation between processes
    3. Integrating advanced converting machinery
    4. Optimising operator and material flow
    5. Ensuring scalability for future growth

    As Richard Sincock, General Manager at ADDEV Parafix, explains: “Our customers operate in highly regulated environments where consistency and contamination control are critical. We needed a facility that could meet those expectations while allowing us to scale efficiently. This was not just about gaining more space. We needed an environment designed around how our teams work.”

    To bring this vision to life, ADDEV Parafix partnered with Monmouth Scientific to design and deliver a large-scale modular cleanroom tailored to its operational needs. The resulting facility spans approximately 500m² and is structured into 15 operational zones, including airlocks, gowning areas, production cells, material transfer points, and dedicated packing zones. Each zone is engineered to maintain controlled transitions between ISO Class 7 and ISO Class 8 environments. Working closely with Monmouth Scientific, the cleanroom was specifically designed around ADDEV Parafix’s converting processes and equipment, ensuring optimal workflow, reduced handling risk, and high process efficiency.

     

    Within this controlled environment, ADDEV Parafix deploys advanced converting technologies, including multiple Delta ModTech machines, supporting:

    • Die-cutting and rotary laser cutting for high-precision components
    • Multi-layer lamination under controlled conditions
    • High-tolerance slitting with accuracy up to ±0.25mm
    • Island placement for complex adhesive assemblies
    • Finishing and packing tailored to customer requirements

    1. The new cleanroom has enabled ADDEV Parafix to operate a fully integrated, high-precision production environment with controlled conditions at every stage.

      By structuring operations into clearly defined zones, the company has achieved:

      • Streamlined material flow from intake to dispatch
      • Improved segregation of sensitive processes
      • Enhanced control of particulate and environmental conditions
      • Increased throughput capacity
      • Greater flexibility in machine deployment

      Commenting on the project, Lewis Irish, Sales Director at Monmouth Scientific, said: “This project represents a significant milestone for Monmouth Scientific. Delivering our largest Modular Cleanroom to date, at this scale and complexity, demonstrates the capability and flexibility of our modular systems when applied to client challenges.”

      “Working closely with ADDEV Materials, the focus was on ensuring the environment supported both current manufacturing requirements and long-term operational growth. The result is a highly controlled, multi-zone facility that achieves exactly that.”

      The modular design, delivered by Monmouth Scientific, also ensures longterm scalability. The facility can evolve alongside business needs, with additional zones or capacity integrated with minimal disruption.

      “This facility gives us confidence in both our current capabilities and our future growth,” Richard adds. “We now have a platform that can adapt as our customers’ requirements evolve.ˮ
