Extrusion International 6-2025 India & Asia

39 Extrusion International 4/2025 “Through increased localisation, we are con dent that we will re - main highly competitive in the dy- namic Indian market. Local sourc- ing enables us to reduce lead times, offer delivery in INR, and accelerate project execution – speed being a decisive success factor in India,” said Dominik Seeger, Senior Vice President Sales at ystral. India is currently ystral’s fastest- growing market worldwide. The new Bangalore facility is expected to evolve into a regional service hub supporting neighbouring Asian markets, and to complement operations in China and Singapore by taking on additional service re- sponsibilities. In addition, ystral in- dia is expected to contribute soft- ware development services to the company’s global headquarters in Germany. With this expansion, ystral reinforces its strategic com- mitment to India as a core market and positions itself to meet the increasing demand for advanced mixing and process technologies across Asia. ystral gmbh maschinenbau + processtechnik www.ystral.com Srirangarajan Santhanam, director of ystral india Dominik Seeger, Senior Vice President Sales at ystral New Testing Solution: Horizontal Catheter Testing System for Interventional Medical Devices Optimises Development and Quality Assurance ZwickRoell's new horizontal testing system for catheters provides manufacturers and development departments of interventional medical devices with a powerful tool for optimising their testing processes: The modular platform enables realistic testing under clinical-like conditions. And it complies with international standards (including ISO 10555, DIN EN ISO 25539, ASTM F623) – a decisive advantage for companies that value quality, ef ciency, and regulatory compliance. T o ensure patient safety, interventional medical de- vices such as catheters, guide wires or insertion sys- tems for heart valve implants must be tested under real- istic conditions. Thanks to the horizontal testing system, clinical use can be simulated by combined forward and rotational movements, such as trackability, crossability, withdrawability and pushability. The advantages: manufacturers obtain reliable, re- producible test results that shorten development cycles, accelerate validation and simplify regulatory documen- tation – all of which add up to clear competitive advan- tages in a dynamic market environment. Modularity and ergonomics for maximum ef ciency in laboratory operations The test platform offers flexible test conditions – whether in a salt-resistant media bath, with individual
