Hydromer Expands into Automated Coating Equipment Manufacturing

Hydromer, Inc., a pioneer in hydrophilic, thromboresistant, and antimicrobial coating technologies for over four decades, has announced a significant expansion into the manufacturing and global supply of automated high-speed coating and UV curing equipment. This strategic move transforms the company from a specialized coating solutions provider into a comprehensive, end-to-end partner for medical device manufacturers worldwide. By integrating its proprietary coatings with high-performance machinery, Hydromer now offers an integrated platform that allows manufacturers to directly correlate process parameters with performance outcomes, supporting compliance with critical regulatory standards like ISO 13485 and FDA Quality System Regulations (21 CFR Part 820). The expansion is detailed in the original release on www.newmediawire.com.

The company's new equipment platform features three key systems: Hydrophilic Coating Equipment for uniform application and UV curing with minimal manual intervention; an Automated High-Throughput Coating System, a modular setup designed to be operated by a single operator to boost production rates and reduce labor reliance; and Friction Testing Equipment for precise lubricity measurements to support performance evaluation and quality control. According to CEO Michael Torti, this vertical integration eliminates technical barriers for clients, helping them reduce time to market while maintaining the highest standards of quality and regulatory confidence. Hydromer, an ISO 9001:2015 certified global B2B provider based in Concord, NC, serves customers across the United States, Europe, and Asia-Pacific with facilities compliant to GMP, ISO 13485, and ISO 9001 standards.

This expansion builds on Hydromer's 40-year legacy of developing value-added solutions, including proprietary coating formulations, custom coating services, research and development, analytical testing, and technology transfer. The company's move into equipment manufacturing represents a natural evolution of its expertise, offering a seamless solution that addresses the entire coating process from machinery to formulation. For medical device manufacturers, this means access to a trusted partner that can streamline production, enhance consistency, and accelerate regulatory approvals, ultimately benefiting patients through more reliable and efficiently produced medical devices. The announcement underscores Hydromer's commitment to innovation and its role as a leader in surface modification technologies.
