Tekra has warehouse and converting facilities on both the coasts of the U.S., as well as at our headquarters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. As one of the major suppliers of PET and PC film to the medical market, we stock a wide range of sheets and roll films, in many thicknesses. We also have the capability to provide narrow and/or close tolerance converting of film to your specifications. Most products can be cold-roll laminated to a number of pressure-sensitive adhesives.

We provide extensive logistical support for JIT and lean manufacturing, with state-of-the-art inventory control and order entry. Additionally, we provide Web access for all of our customers that includes real-time order placement and 24/7 order tracking. Using this service, customers can access custom products and pricing, look up product availability, and perform a number of other transactions through our secure site.

Tekra has in-house capabilities for solvent or aqueous coatings applied to various film substrates with UV or thermally cured processes. These functional coatings can be used to enhance abrasion and chemical resistance, or to provide improved surfaces for digital and conventional printing processes. Many of our hard-coated films are preferentially used in the device industry as lens covers and touch screens by the medical and telecommunications markets. The coating operation is in a particulate controlled environment at white room and class 10,000 clean room standards. We have a flexible process that can be used for start-up and prototype runs, and is easily scaled up for large production.

Our medical team specializes in developing custom material solutions that are crafted to your requirements. In addition to our in-house coating capability, we work closely with the film coating division of DuPont Teijin Films™. Dupont’s functional coatings include heat-seal chemistries (EVA and APET), proprietary coatings to improve moisture and/or oxygen barrier properties, enhanced print receptive treatments, and many others.

Our approach to product development in the medical market is team-centered and commonly involves the customer and our major alliance partners. We prefer to take a “toolkit” approach and customize the product to fit your exact specifications. Our sales engineers understand both the technical and commercial challenges involved in medical device development and will focus on helping you to develop the best product at the lowest cost.

Quality is a corporate value, and we are ISO 9001:2000 certified. In addition to several full-time quality engineers, we maintain an R&D lab that performs many custom and standard ASTM tests for material analysis. We are a preferred supplier by many of the major players in the medical manufacturing community and have won several supplier-of-the year awards for our quality standing.
