Designed for Lean Production and Collaboration
The new site occupies two floors of a building conveniently located across from a Mirion Technologies facility. This proximity fosters opportunities for cross-team partnerships between the Medical and Technologies businesses, enabling collaboration and knowledge sharing.
The facility has been meticulously designed and constructed with the principles of LEAN process and efficiency in mind. One floor of the facility is dedicated to offices, providing a conducive environment for employees to work together and exchange ideas. The other floor is dedicated to production, designed with an open floor plan to facilitate efficient process flow. From end to end, this production floor represents the leanest manufacturing flow across the entire Mirion organization, ensuring that customers receive the highest level of efficiency, service and quality.
“The new Mirion Medical facility in Munich is a shining example of our commitment to operational excellence and lean ideology. The Munich team has built a foundation for efficiency and innovation that will not only advance our healthcare solutions but also foster even stronger collaboration with our Technologies colleagues,” said Ryan Pacer, Vice President of Operations for Mirion Medical.
Better Serving Mirion Customers
The opening of the Mirion Medical facility in Munich signifies the company’s commitment to strengthening its presence in Europe and improving its manufacturing processes. By relocating to a more strategically located site across from a Mirion Technologies facility, Mirion is better positioned to serve its European dosimetry customers and meet their evolving needs.
The Munich facility’s grand opening is a testament to Mirion’s dedication to innovation, collaboration, and customer satisfaction. With its advanced production capabilities and enhanced collaboration opportunities, Mirion Medical is poised to make significant contributions to the field of occupational dosimetry in Europe and beyond.
