Watson-Marlow Limited Ireland, award winning, global leader in fluid management technology, will open a state-of-the-art facility in Cork, Ireland. The new ISO 14644-1 Class 7 cleanroom will be added to the company’s existing Cork site and will be certified to meet the demands of the highly regulated pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical manufacturing sector in Ireland.

With more than 85 leading biotech and pharma companies in Ireland, Watson-Marlow has recognised the country’s role as a headquarters for the European biopharma market, driving the development of innovative science and medicine. The expansion of Watson-Marlow’s Cork facility will provide global expertise within Ireland, offering a high quality and reliable supply allied with customer service and local support. Watson-Marlow’s Ireland-based customers will be able to locally access essential bioprocess single-use assemblies for biopharmaceutical production.

The facility is currently in development and will be validated to ISO 9001 Quality Management System standards in Q1 2021. It will create new employment opportunities in Cork and provide a robust supply of puresu® single-use assemblies. These will be manufactured in the new Class 7 cleanroom and validated to biopharmaceutical industry standards.

Denis Coll, Biopharm Sector Manager – Ireland, commented,

The new ISO accredited facility offers a sustainable, Ireland-based supply chain that reflects Watson-Marlow’s commitment to engineering a sustainable future.”

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions

About us

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG) peristaltic tube and hose pumps meet requirements including: value for money; low cost of ownership; reliability and ease of maintenance to the food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, mining and many other industries.

We demonstrate how pumps deliver significant process efficiencies over the lifetime of the equipment. Whether performing flavouring addition in food processing, chemical metering in water treatment or mineral recovery, we have a solution which can cut pump downtime and reduce costs through higher accuracy metering and transfer. WMFTG has dedicated application engineers available to help customers make the right pump and tubing choice from a range providing microlitres per minute to 80 cubic metres per hour flow rates.

The only part of the pump to come into contact with the product is the tube or hose. This means there are no seals or valves that can wear or fail. Replacing the tube or hose can be performed quickly and safely. Peristaltic pump benefits include:

Total fluid containment with no seals No ancillaries Handle viscous and abrasive slurries and sludge Self-priming capability Dry running without damage to the pump In addition to their range of positive displacement pumps, Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group has added PTFE-lined chemical and industrial hoses to their range. Aflex hoses are reinforced to withstand the most severe conditions and use.
