Inside Elos Medtech: A Conversation with Simon Lingman – Project and Quality Control Manager, Skara

, , , 0

Simon has worked at Elos Medtech in Skara since 2019. He started as a Quality Engineer, switched to Project Leader and was then promoted to Project and Quality Control Manager in 2024.

Six Years at Skara – From Engineer to Manager

As Project Manager, Simon’s responsibilities include listening to the article requirements and customer’s expectations for the project, and then based on these criteria, planning, organizing and monitoring the project to achieve the set goals. What he especially appreciates is the variety that his work days offer:

“My work involves mainly a lot of planning and involvement of internal and external parties to keep the projects running smoothly. In my role, it is essential to be flexible and solution-oriented. I appreciate meeting and connecting with so many different people. I also feel joy in having engaged, creative and competent employees around me.”

He also has an unofficial role – namely as table tennis champion in the annual “Elos Medtech Santa Claus Cup” which is held in Skara every year.

It was Simon’s manager, Site Leader Jimmy Johansson who acquired the pingpong table when he saw that most employees spent their breaks sitting with their iphones instead of socializing. Now, a pingpong game is a given on any break.

“It’s become an unoffocial meeting point, almost everyone who works here likes to play”, says Simon. “It’s really a lot of fun, and has brought us even closer together.”

Family Atmosphere – It’s In the Walls

That’s not to say that the crew weren’t close knit before. Skara’s famous familiar atmosphere is something extraordinary that has been implemented from the start, and trickles down from the leadership to everyone on the floor. It was Jimmy that recognized the potential in Simon and gave him more and more responsibility. Jimmy says:

“Simon’s competence and hard work is one thing, but what I want to highlight first and foremost is Simon the person. With his curiosity to develop and his inclusive leadership, he is an incredibly important piece of the puzzle in our team building. Even if he humiliates us all in ping pong.”

In addition to being an inclusive and welcoming workplace, there are many activities happening outside of work. Simon sees the management as competent and well-organized, and makes employees feel seen and appreciated.

“The good family atmosphere has remained unchanged since I started. The ongoing growth journey that the Skara site is undergoing involves many changes, both in production and organizationally, which is very exciting to be a part of.”

Why Elos Medtech?

It was Sofia Andersson (Group IT Project Manager) who first described Elos Medtech to Simon and he became interested right away.

“She probably thinks I’m a stalker,” laughs Simon. “We grew up 20 meters apart, and when she moved from Jönköping after finishing her studies, my partner and I moved into her apartment! After finishing my studies, we started at the same workplace in the same position.”

Once he got the chance to see the workplace first hand, he immediately knew that he would be spending many hours there in the coming years.

Advice to Future Employees

“Elos’ company culture is characterized by open communication, respect and inclusion, opportunities for development, work-life balance, strong teamwork, flexibility, and customer focus. I believe these factors are what motivate all employees to reach success both individual and for Elos.”

Simon’s advice to someone considering a career at Elos Medtech is quick and concise:

“Don’t hesitate, just do it. You won’t regret it!”

Simon lives in the smaller community of Filsbäck outside Lidköping with his partner Hanna, their 8-month-old son Elliot and their French bulldog Doris

Christian also highlights the strong sense of collaboration within the company. Whether discussing strategic plans in a meeting or assisting a colleague on the shop floor, Christian values the wide variety in his role and the chance to be involved at all levels. “One moment I could be discussing a 600 million budget, the next I’m helping solve a faulty machine part in the factory,” he says with a smile.

For Christian, Elos is more than just a company – it’s a family. “This is my home,” he says. The opportunities for growth, the sense of belonging, and the drive for innovation are what make Elos Medtech a special place for him. “If you love technical stuff, this is the place to be,” Christian advises.

Sustainability in Medical Device Packaging: The Challenges

, , 0

At Elos Medtech, sustainability is integral to our operations. We continually strive to enhance the sustainability of our factories and products, reflecting our commitment to environmental responsibility. Today, we focus on a critical aspect of sustainability in the medical device industry: sterile packaging.

Challenge 1: Sterility

When it comes to medical devices, maintaining sterility throughout their shelf life is paramount. At Elos Medtech, ensuring product sterility remains our top priority. This commitment drives every decision we make regarding packaging materials and design.

Cleanroom sterile packaging

Challenge 2: Use of Recycled Materials

One of the challenges we face is the use of recycled materials in packaging. While using recycled materials aligns with sustainability goals, stringent regulatory requirements necessitate knowing the origin of all materials, including packaging components, particularly for sterile barrier systems. Currently, the lack of traceability hinders widespread adoption of recycled materials in medical device packaging.

Challenge 3: Making Packaging Recyclable

Designing recyclable packaging is a clear objective for Elos Medtech. However, practical challenges exist, particularly in healthcare settings where materials used in operating theatres are often considered contaminated post-use. Consequently, most materials are treated as non-recyclable waste. Despite these challenges, we are proactive in preparing our materials for future regulatory changes. By ensuring our packaging materials are recyclable when feasible, we anticipate and facilitate compliance with evolving recycling protocols.

Challenge 4: Reduction in Packaging Waste

Addressing the amount of packaging used is an area where Elos Medtech can make an immediate impact. Through innovative design strategies, such as optimizing blister pack sizes and reducing outer packaging dimensions, we significantly reduce material waste. This not only minimizes environmental impact but also enhances efficiency in transportation and storage, contributing to a lower carbon footprint associated with our products.

In our next blog, we will delve deeper into how Elos Medtech is actively addressing these challenges today. Stay tuned to learn more about our sustainable initiatives and our ongoing commitment to delivering environmentally responsible solutions!
