Medical innovation is accelerating, and Holtex is proud to play a part in bringing the next generation of life-saving technology to market. Recently, we partnered with a Yorkshire-based health tech startup developing a wearable device for respiratory monitoring. The company needed precision enclosures for their functional prototypes — and they needed them fast.
Within days, our team reviewed the startup’s 3D models, advised on manufacturability, and sourced suitable grades of anodised aluminium to balance weight, strength, and aesthetic appeal. We then programmed and machined the parts on our high-speed CNC mills, completing five full enclosures with laser marking and surface finishing within ten working days.
Speed was essential, but quality couldn’t be compromised. Each part underwent dimensional inspection and functional testing to ensure compatibility with embedded electronics and wearable straps. Our flexible, responsive approach enabled the startup to demonstrate a working prototype to investors and accelerate their regulatory pathway.
This is just one example of how Holtex supports innovation outside traditional industrial sectors. We recognise the importance of helping early-stage businesses translate great ideas into real-world products, and we have the tools, talent, and attitude to do it.
As we look to the future, we’ll continue to work with startups, researchers, and entrepreneurs to push boundaries and deliver precision where it matters most — whether that’s in an operating theatre, on a factory floor, or worn by a patient at home.
