Step Inside Our Cleanroom at MD&M West: From Installation to First Production Run

Posted by Chandler Slavin on Jan 28, 2026 2:01:15 PM

 

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

Attendees are invited to visit Dordan Manufacturing at booth #1082to watch the video and learn more about the company’s cleanroom thermoforming capabilities.
