Engineering critical fluid technology solutions that support advancements in health and optimise the use of resources

 

"WMFTS is dedicated to sustainability at every step of our process. From sourcing raw materials to production and distribution, we prioritise sustainable practices that minimise our environmental impact and promote a positive impact on society.

"We invest in renewable energy and green tariffs, require minimum standards for human rights and environmental regulations in our supply chain, and are incorporating eco-design into our product development.

"Along with our One Planet commitments, we are good stewards of the resources and direct impacts under our control.

"Let us help you with your sustainability success."

Product Spotlight

Optimising the life cycle of single-use products to protect sterile processing performance whilst reducing environmental impact brings us closer to our global net zero targets. In 2025 we proudly launched our re-engineered BioClamp®, a plastic sanitary clamp that has safeguarded fluid path connections for life science customers since 2011.
