“We work in accordance with strict international guidelines and guarantee our customers a dust-free or sterile environment for their highly complex work processes”

Dr. Wolfgang Tolzin, Managing Director of profi-con

This activity calls for, above all, a steady hand, and wherever they work, our specialists move around and go about their tasks with a wealth of experience. After all, the aim is to avoid creating any turbulences and to remove invisible impurities from all surfaces. Along with absolute precision, the specialists need extensive knowledge of materials, high-tech equipment, sterilisation processes and much more.

profi-con passes on this knowledge via its CleanRoomAcademy to all those concerning themselves with the topic. In one-day training courses it is, for example, not only users but also planners, designers and suppliers who learn about the specific features of the cleanroom. There are also training courses on quality assurance in accordance with GMP guidelines (Good Manufacturing Practice). "We conduct a lot of training courses at customers' premises," explains Dr. Wolfgang Tolzin. "This means we can targetedly address the specific needs and requirements on-site." In addition, profi-con coaches its customers where necessary, for instance if a new production process deviates from the previous specifications.

Cleanroom users of all sizes and from all industries – from local pharmacies right through to global players – have benefitted from the specialists' know-how for many years now. "Together with the services provided by CWS Cleanrooms with a focus on cleanroom textiles, this results in a package of services hitherto unavailable on the market," says Markus Schad, Head of CWS Cleanrooms. "Our customers in the contamination control segment thus get bundled expertise from a single source."
