Products and services used in surgical procedures are the core competence of global supplier of medical equipment Aesculap, a division of B.BRAUN Melsungen AG. The product range of the company includes surgical instruments for open or minimal invasive surgery, implants for orthopedics, neurosurgery or spinal surgery, sterile containers, devices and navigation systems as well as products for the cardiology sector.

TGW Systems Integration worked closely with Aesculap to deliver a cost-efficient logistics solution that not only meets the current requirements of the business, but which also allows for future expansion and increase in capacities.

Requirements & Prerequisites:

  • Further utilisation of existing premises as well as construction of a new building on the company site
