British medtech manufacturer marks milestone year and record growth
BDK, based in Suffolk, is celebrating its 60th anniversary – marking six decades of precision engineered manufacturing.
The company produces engineered adhesive components for a range of industries, with its largest product base in the medtech arena.
From the manufacture of adhesive pads for car logos in its early days, to precision manufacturing of medical diagnostic materials today, the company creates adhesive components for medical supplies and diagnostics equipment.
Managing Director Nick Falconer said: “I’m extremely proud to be leading BDK in its 60th year. BDK started in the late 1950s and soon after, my father Graham joined the business and established what have proven to be unique, solid foundations for a business that has lasted the test of time. For me, our success is down to this, supported by our forward thinking, flexible approach to giving our customers what they need.
“We produce adhesive components that manufacturers need to bring their designs to market, so over the years we have adapted our capabilities so that we can offer them the very best solutions.
“This means we have invested heavily in our technology, specifically within the medical industry, to meet the growing needs of businesses in this sector.
“We adapt as markets change and from our early days of making pads for car badges to our advanced medical processes today, we’re at the forefront of manufacturing design. This is set to be the strongest year in BDK’s 60 year history and we’re looking forward to continued growth as we enter new markets next year and beyond.”
