EUROPIN

What EUROPIN does

Jecture GmbH, formerly operating as EUROPIN, is a precision medical device component manufacturer specializing in medical cannulas, lancet needles, and special-purpose needles produced from stainless steel tubing and wire. The company's core technical capability spans the full manufacturing stack: CNC machining, laser welding and drilling, electrochemical grinding (ECG/ECC), EDM, bevel grinding, multi-axis bending, crimping, electro-polishing, and silicone surface treatments, supported by ISO Class 7 and Class 8 clean rooms, 100% camera-based final inspection, and continuous in-process monitoring. Its specification range covers cannula diameters from 0.18 mm (34G) to 6.7 mm (3G), lengths from 5.0 mm to 150 mm, and multiple tip geometries including single, three, and five-bevel, Menghini, Huber, Spoon, Bent, Pencil, and Double-ended configurations, with proprietary Quintum five-bevel geometry as a differentiated offering.

Jecture was formed through the merger of Acti-Med and EUROPIN and operates three wholly-owned production sites in Freiensteinau (Germany, headquarters), Kozerki (Poland), and Trenčianske Stankovce (Slovakia), with combined annual production exceeding one billion cannulas. The company sells exclusively on a B2B OEM basis into six application verticals: Ready-to-Use prefilled/prefillable sterile systems, Drug Delivery & Diabetes (insulin pens, auto-injectors, syringes), Inhalation therapy, Blood collection and patient monitoring, Specialized Medicine (cardiology, oncology, ophthalmology, dental), and Veterinary. It also offers customized solutions from prototype through series production, including design, development, manufacturing, assembly, blister packaging, and sterilization as a single-vendor capability.

Revenue is generated through hardware sales of standard cannulas and needles plus professional services revenue from custom manufacturing and OEM development contracts, with quote-based pricing (no public price list) and direct enterprise sales targeting medical device manufacturers and pharmaceutical companies. The company maintains ISO 13485 certification, holds no venture capital or private equity investment (private, founder/family-controlled), and currently markets into both European and American markets via separate enquiry channels on its website.
