Reducing our Carbon Footprint

This month marks a major milestone for Purple Surgical as we proudly celebrate 20 years of continuous UK production at our dedicated manufacturing facility in Taunton, Somerset. Over the past two decades, we’ve established ourselves as a leading name in British manufacturing, delivering high-quality single-use surgical instruments and devices to healthcare providers in the UK and across the globe.

A Legacy of UK Surgical Device Manufacturing

Since opening the doors to our Somerset facility in 2004, Purple Surgical has remained committed to local production. By investing in British manufacturing, we have achieved full control over the design, development, and delivery of our products. This means we can respond quickly to clinical needs, meet custom requirements, and maintain consistent product quality.

Our commitment to UK-based production has also allowed us to support more than 450 NHS Trusts and over 60 international markets, demonstrating the trust placed in our products by healthcare professionals around the world.

Built to Withstand Global Supply Chain Disruption

One of the key advantages of domestic manufacturing is our ability to maintain strong, resilient supply chains. In an era of ongoing international uncertainty, delays, and shortages, Purple Surgical offers reliable delivery at volume, without compromising on quality.

Because we design and manufacture in-house, we can guarantee product availability and ensure every item meets stringent regulatory standards. Our UK-based facility enables us to be agile and adaptive, while upholding the highest levels of compliance and safety.

Sustainable Manufacturing Powered by Solar and Wind

At Purple Surgical, sustainability goes hand-in-hand with innovation. Our Somerset facility is powered in part by on-site solar panels and wind turbines, allowing us to significantly reduce our carbon footprint. This supports both our Environmental Management Policy and the sustainability goals of our customers.

In fact, our proactive carbon reduction strategies mean we are ahead of schedule on our Carbon Reduction Plan, helping to build a cleaner, greener supply chain for UK and global healthcare markets.

The Future of British Surgical Manufacturing

As we look ahead to the next 20 years, our focus remains on driving innovation, enhancing patient outcomes, and supporting healthcare systems with cost-effective, high-performance surgical instruments. Our dedicated team in Taunton will continue to play a critical role in delivering sustainable, scalable solutions to meet the evolving needs of modern healthcare.

We’re proud of our past and even more excited about the future.
