OPENWATER  is a unique combination of two sets of skills that compliment each other to provide the client with the complete ability to take a concept for a new product right through to full realisation and placement on the market.

A large part of our experience has been in high margin, single use, wound  care and ostomy manufacture, including the formulation and manufacture of hydrocolloid.

We are expert in assisting with start up projects and specialist help for small businesses, where we have strength and experience in bringing a small company's products from the design stage into full production.  We install full quality assurance systems and set up all associated regulatory requirements, and can provide machinery design.

If you are a medium or large company needing a particular project completed or need to call in some specialists for a while, we are happy to help.

We will give you no nonsense and sound advice and won't waste your time.

We are happy to roll up our sleeves and join you on the shop floor to make product, design equipment and train staff.
