Contamac Ltd
Contamac is the world’s largest manufacturer of contact and intraocular lens materials, and a leading innovator in the development of specialist polymers and biocompatible materials for medical applications. We don’t make contact or intraocular lenses – our customers do, from our materials.
Our mission is to develop and manufacture biocompatible polymer-based materials that make a positive difference to people’s lives; to work with clients, research partners and end-users to create a better future, develop and manufacture biomedical devices, and explore ground-breaking new healthcare applications.
Our 90,000 sq. ft. (8,360m²) headquarters in Saffron Walden, England – just outside the university city of Cambridge – features an ISO7 (Class 10,000) clean room and state-of-the-art manufacturing, research, office and laboratory facilities – all of which provide the infrastructure and environment to meet and exceed our customers needs and expectations.
Contamac is proud to be a two-time recipient of the Queen’s Award for Enterprise and is accredited to ISO 9001 and ISO 13485. We pride ourselves on being an international company in every sense.
