Eakin Healthcare ramps up UK manufacturing with major investment

Eakin Healthcare has launched the world’s largest ostomy bag production line in Cardiff as part of a £60 million programme to future-proof its manufacturing. The new £9 million line will quadruple production capacity for its flagship ModaVi pouches, addressing soaring global demand. This marks the first phase of its strategy to boost operational resilience, efficiency, and sustainability.

The company plans further investment to enhance its Northern Ireland facilities, focusing on respiratory and ostomy manufacturing. With smart metering to cut energy use and a 60% drop in production waste, the Cardiff facility also supports Eakin’s net zero ambitions by 2045.

For manufacturing leaders, this signals a clear move: investing in advanced, waste-reducing production lines isn’t just about capacity. It’s about resilience, sustainability, and global competitiveness.
