Meding GmbH

What Meding GmbH does

Meding GmbH is a family-owned German plastics processor founded in 1949, headquartered at Kruppstraße 8 in Halver, and operated as part of the FM-Plast Group under managing directors Meike Reiffenrath-Friedhoff and Jan Matti Reiffenrath. The company specializes in precision plastic components for medical technology, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, orthopedics and rehabilitation, and electrical engineering / white goods customers, with medical and pharmaceutical manufacturing explicitly described as primary focus areas. A named enterprise customer relationship is Deutsche Homöopathie-Union (DHU), for whom Meding produces exclusive pill dispensers.

The company's core manufacturing platform is built around 1K, 2K, and 3K injection moulding covering shot weights from 0.5g to 3,000g, complemented by a Class 7 clean room for medical device production, stretch-blowing for bottles and hollow bodies (a capability expansion slated for 2026), and secondary processing services including metalizing of plastics, laser and ultrasonic welding, screen/pad/foil printing, sterile packaging, and assembly under its proprietary MEDformING tool concept. Tooling, prototyping with 3D printing, and series production are managed in-house from design through construction. The operating model is anchored by EN ISO 13485 and EN ISO 9001 quality certifications audited by TÜV Nord Cert GmbH, CE marking under Directive 93/42/EEC, MDR (EU) 2017/745 compliance, and UKCA plus Swiss CH-REP registrations for the dosing aids product line.

Meding generates revenue through a hybrid GTM model: a multilingual WooCommerce online shop selling standardized dosing aids and cosmetic articles directly to SMB and consumer buyers, paired with a request-for-quote-driven B2B sales motion for custom contract manufacturing, prototyping, and toolmaking for enterprise customers. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; products carry minimum order quantities (e.g., 500 units for stool sample sets) and bespoke runs are quote-based. Long-standing partnerships with Arburg, Hasco, Ultrapolymers, Biesterfeld, Meusburger, and the Kunststoff-Institut Lüdenscheid supply the equipment, tooling, raw materials, and research underpinning regulated production.
