MGS announces the completion of significant upgrades to its Lynge, Denmark engineering facility to complete its transformation into a state-of-the-art tooling facility. The two phases of upgrades to the Lynge facility (previously Winther Mould Technology A/S) began shortly following MGS’ acquisition of the company in 2023.

Transforming the Lynge facility from a traditional moldmaker into a best-in-class European toolmaker involved strategic investments in processes, equipment and technology advancements in accordance with MGS’ global tooling standards. The campus features 4,000 square meters of production space dedicated to early supplier involvement (ESI), design for manufacturability (DFM), Fast-Track pilot tooling, production tool development and enhanced metrology systems.

At the upgraded facility, teams now have access to expanded machining capabilities with five-axis laser texturing and high-speed milling as well as automated robotic handling. Additionally, the Lynge team will be able to accelerate production while maximizing capacity and ensuring exceptional quality, which is essential for the company’s Pharma, Diagnostics and MedTech customers.

“Through strategic acquisitions of companies like Winther Mould Technology, we are building capacity to bring advanced technologies to global innovators who require precision tooling for critical innovations that improve lives.

The upgrades to this facility allow us to enhance the team’s existing capabilities and expertise while standardizing processes to facilitate collaboration across our global engineering teams,” says MGS President and CEO Paul Manley.

The second phase of facility upgrades will bring updates to the 3,000-square-meter Innovation and Test Center that houses first off tool (FOT), design of experiment (DOE), validation, transfer and pilot production. Customers will be able to access plug-and-play space for validation with injection molding machines ranging from 50-300 metric tons. Work is expected to start on phase two in May and be completed in October.

“Building on Winther Mould’s rich history as a premier healthcare tooling manufacturer while transforming into a state-of-the-art facility has been an exciting endeavor,” says Ken Hansen, production director at MGS Lynge. We are proud to be part of MGS’ continued efforts to be a world-class healthcare manufacturer from upfront product design and development through final production.”
