UK-based Carclo (LON: CAR) said on Wednesday that its technical plastics division has signed a framework agreement with a “major” global OEM for the manufacture of complex medical diagnostic disposable devices.
The agreement enables the award of production contracts to Carclo to manufacture a variety of products over the next ten years. Carclo said that it will make a significant capital investment to establish sufficient capacity for the anticipated demand in the current year.
Production contracts will remain subject to several conditions, such as product acceptance and, if they are met, they are set to be awarded in the first half of the year to 31 March fiscal 2022.
