We have completed the installation of our new Kiefel thermoforming machine in our ISO Class 8 cleanroom! Watch the entire process-- from machine staging to full production-- in this video documenting a week's worth of labor in 45 seconds. This machine doubles our cleanroom capacity, which manufactures packaging like medical device trays, blisters, and surgical kits in a controlled environment.
Enjoy, and sound on!

Anaheim, CA | Feb. 3–5 | MD&M West | Booth #1082
At MD&M West, Dordan Manufacturing will debut a new behind-the-scenes video that follows the installation, assembly, and first production run of a Kiefel thermoforming machine inside its ISO Class 8 cleanroom manufacturing environment.
Featured at booth #1082, the video takes viewers inside the real process of adding cleanroom thermoforming capacity—showing what it looks like to move from equipment delivery to live production in a regulated manufacturing space.
From Delivery to Production
The footage captures the complete journey of the new thermoforming machine, beginning with delivery and positioning and continuing through mechanical assembly, setup, and its first cleanroom production run.
What It Takes to Add Cleanroom Capacity
Bringing a new thermoforming machine online in a cleanroom is a coordinated effort that extends beyond assembly alone. Layout planning, material flow, utilities, and environmental controls must come together so production can restart smoothly and reliably. The video highlights this transition from installation to production, offering insight into the practical steps involved in expanding cleanroom manufacturing capability.
Supporting Medical Packaging Production
The newly added thermoforming machine supports cleanroom production of medical trays, blisters, and surgical kit packaging—applications where environmental control, consistency, and quality system compliance are essential. The footage provides a grounded, behind-the-scenes look at how that production capability is established on the manufacturing floor.
Experience It at MD&M West

From emerging technologies and regulatory insights to manufacturing optimization and automation strategies, the event offers actionable takeaways for teams building and scaling medical devices.
While attending MD&M West, be sure to visit Dordan Manufacturing at Booth #1082. This year, Dordan will be showcasing two new visual experiences from inside its ISO Class 8 cleanroom, each offering a different perspective on medical thermoforming operations.
One video was captured during active manufacturing and provides a real-time look at how thermoformed medical packaging is produced within a controlled cleanroom environment. The other documents the assembly and installation of Dordan’s newest thermoforming machine inside the cleanroom, offering a behind-the-scenes view of equipment integration and process expansion when manufacturing is not underway. Together, these visuals give attendees a more complete understanding of Dordan’s cleanroom operations, from day-to-day production to ongoing investment in advanced manufacturing capabilities.

Medical packaging is often made from high-quality, recyclable materials—yet much of it ends up in the trash. While all packaging is technically recyclable, most packaging is not actually recycled. That’s because in order for packaging to be recovered and reprocessed, it must be accepted by the majority of municipal recycling programs, which typically only take materials with established end markets.
