Ostomy Care
Reliable and innovative machines that ensure consistent production of world-class ostomy products.
Precision that protects quality of life.
At MME Nordic, we have extensive experience in developing and building machines for the production of ostomy products. High quality and precision are essential, as the products have a direct impact on the end user's quality of life. We develop reliable and innovative machines that ensure consistent production of world-class ostomy products.
We focus on solutions that optimise production, minimise waste and ensure consistently high quality – all with the end user in mind. Our expertise covers the entire process, from idea and development to a finished machine in production, always meeting the MedTech industry's strict requirements for hygiene and safety.

1pc/2pc handling & infeed
Base plates and bags for 1-piece and 2-piece systems are fed into the line with controlled web tension, so every component reaches the next station in exactly the right position.
The challenge: Components for 1-piece and 2-piece systems must arrive in exactly the same position every time.
How we solve it: Controlled infeed with constant web tension and sensor-based positioning before each station.
- 02
Print
Inline printing of logos, batch codes and user instructions – ink, hot stamping or thermal transfer – verified by vision before the bag moves on.
The challenge: Codes and instructions must be legible and correct on every single bag.
How we solve it: Inline printing with vision verification and automatic rejection of faulty products.
- 03
Non woven film/folie
Non-woven and film are unwound, lane-steered and joined with constant tension – keeping the material in place without stretching or collapsing.
The challenge: Soft materials stretch or wrinkle if the tension is not perfectly controlled.
How we solve it: Unwinding and lane steering with closed-loop tension control keep the material flat and in position.
- 04
Outline weld / outline punch
The bag outline is welded and punched in one precise sequence – heat, impulse or ultrasound – for tight seams and exact contours.
The challenge: Seams must be tight and contours exact – a leak is not an option for the user.
How we solve it: Validated welding processes – heat, impulse or ultrasound – developed and tested in our R&D Innovation Center.
- 05
Tail
The tail is integrated and finished before each bag is inspected, counted and handed over for packaging.
The challenge: The finished bag must be complete, counted and ready for packaging without manual handling.
How we solve it: Automated finishing, inspection and counting before handover to packaging.

Challenges in ostomy production.
Ostomy products are thin, soft and produced in many variants – and every single one matters to the person who uses it.
