Expandable Cleanrooms for Easy Scale Up
Challenge: Finding a cleanroom solution that enables multi-phase cleanroom expansions that support the company’s growth, minimizing the disruption of injection molding operations during expansions, and capable of delivering phase 1 within an 8-month lead time.
Solution: MECART delivers a solution for MedMix’s cleanroom expansion needs with their 6,000 square feet of expandable cleanrooms. MECART modular design allows for simple future expansions, while the off-site fabrication and cleanroom panel technology reduces both production downtime and project lead time.

MedMix aims to support its growth in the Healthcare sector in the US market with the addition of a new manufacturing facility near Atlanta, in the Peach State. The new MedMix Healthcare US center needs a large cleanroom area for manufacturing pre-filled syringes used in surgical procedures.
The cleanroom system they needed to pick for their cleanroom project had to be able to meet these criteria:
- Multi-Phase Expansion: The solution must be modular and adaptable to accommodate future cleanroom additions.
- Minimized Disruption: The solution chosen should reduce and minimize the downtime of cleanroom injection molding operations.
- Meet the Highest Quality Standards: A high-quality cleanroom system that complies with GMP and ISO 13485 standards
- Meet Time & Price Commitments: Meeting an 8-month lead time and fixed price for the initial phase (Phase 1).
MECART delivered the perfect answer for MedMix – an expandable cleanroom solution that meets all their criteria and surpasses expectations.
Plan for the Future, Scale with Ease with Expandable Cleanrooms
MedMix Healthcare US needs 6,000 square feet of ISO 8 cleanrooms for phase 1 of their project to consolidate their North American presence.
Expansion phases to increase production capacity are already planned for the near future. An additional 6,000 square feet of cleanrooms will be added to their brand-new manufacturing center.
MECART’s expandable cleanrooms offer a future-proof solution that will grow with MedMix’s long-term business plan. Our modular design simplifies expansion, minimizing production downtime and its related financial losses. This enables MedMix to start with a lower initial investment and scale up as needed.
Modular, expandable cleanrooms bring multiple benefits for companies looking to plan the future growth ahead.
Benefits From Expandable Cleanrooms
1. Gradually Expand the Cleanroom Footprint in Line with the Company’s Growth
MECART’s expandable cleanrooms feature a modular design. Designed with a building block concept, new panels can be easily added to existing structures to increase the cleanroom footprint.
Expandable cleanrooms allow you to gradually expand your operations, keeping pace with your evolving needs. The modular design also helps you reduce upfront costs by letting you invest in only the cleanroom space you need at the on-set.
2. Flexibility to Reconfigure the Cleanroom Layout
MECART’s modular cleanroom panels are designed for easy reconfiguration. An installation team can disassemble and reassemble these panels easily. This eliminates the need for disruptive construction methods like knocking down walls.
The entire cleanroom layout can be modified to optimize workflows, change the room’s purpose, or integrate new equipment without lengthy shutdowns or the risk of increased airborne particles.
3. Minimized operational disruptions and the resulting financial setbacks
When the need for more space arises, prefabricated panels arrive ready for installation. The MECART’s clean room panel system allows for quick assembly, minimizing debris and airborne particles that could contaminate the cleanroom environment.
This streamlined process keeps downtime to a minimum – just a weekend shutdown for installation and balancing – ensuring MedMix experiences minimal financial impact while maximizing production efficiency.
4. Keep production alive while prefabricated walls and components for the expansion are manufactured off-site
Business is strong; the original cleanroom paid for itself and will soon reach full production capacity, even as demand keeps growing.
To keep pace, you need more space, but halting production for weeks with traditional construction methods would create a backlog and incur a financial strain.
Here’s where modular cleanrooms come in. Built using off-site manufacturing, MECART expandable cleanrooms don’t disrupt your current operations as we manufacture the expansion walls and components while your existing cleanroom keeps running smoothly.
Once construction is complete, the prefabricated parts can be quickly assembled on-site. This means your expanded cleanroom is operational again within days, avoiding costly downtime and keeping your business on track.
