We are committed to continuous improvement in all areas of our business to ensure we contribute positively to our community and environment.
“We are particularly proud to gain this recognition after recently opening our new Innovation lab to achieve our strategic goals of launching new solutions for healthcare workers and patients globally, as well as bringing our new consumer comfort range, Enora air-powered products, to market. We have been at the forefront of medical engineering for over 25 years, and it is fantastic to be recognised for our commitment to sustainability as we continue to create innovative healthcare products.”
