Advancing Quality And Regulatory Readiness: Building Trust At Silcotech

At Silcotech North America Inc., quality is central to the trust our customers place in us. We continue to strengthen that foundation through our quality management systems, independent certification, and preparation for the regulatory requirements that matter to our customers.

In Q3 2026, Silcotech transitioned its certification body from NSF to UL Solutions, which now holds our current ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certifications. ISO 9001 supports consistent processes, customer satisfaction, and continuous improvement, while ISO 13485 addresses quality management requirements specific to the medical device industry. These standards provide a framework for maintaining a disciplined approach to quality and meeting applicable customer and regulatory requirements.

Building on this foundation, we are working toward certification under the Medical Device Single Audit Program (MDSAP), with certification expected by the end of 2026. MDSAP allows a recognized auditing organization to conduct a single audit that addresses the relevant requirements of multiple participating regulatory authorities. For Silcotech, pursuing this certification is an important step in strengthening our quality assurance program and supporting customers operating across international medical device markets.

Looking ahead, we are targeting completion of our European Union Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR) implementation by Q2 2027. The EU MDR establishes a regulatory framework focused on medical device safety, transparency, and traceability. Our implementation work is intended to align relevant processes with applicable requirements and strengthen our readiness to support customers with European medical device programs.

For our customers, these initiatives reflect our continued focus on dependable manufacturing, clear quality expectations, and long-term partnerships. As medical device projects progress and requirements develop, we want our quality systems to provide a strong foundation for the work we undertake together.

Thank you to our Quality Assurance team and colleagues across Silcotech for the attention to detail, collaboration, and commitment to continuous improvement that drive this work forward.

Silcotech Enhances Its GMP Audit Program with GoAudits

Silcotech has implemented GoAudits, a digital auditing platform that strengthens how we conduct and manage our monthly Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) audits. These audits help us verify compliance with our GMP procedures, ISO Class 8 cleanroom requirements, and facility-wide 5S and safety standards.

By replacing our previous paper-based process, GoAudits allows us to perform audits more efficiently and consistently. Auditors can capture real-time photographic and video evidence, assign corrective actions to the appropriate personnel, and monitor follow-up activities through completion. The platform also helps us analyze audit data, compare results, and identify performance trends over time.

Our latest audit demonstrated strong compliance throughout the facility and highlighted continued improvement in our GMP, cleanroom, housekeeping, and safety practices. These insights will support Silcotech’s ongoing commitment to quality, accountability, and continuous improvement.

Silcotech Celebrates Record-Breaking Velocity 2026

Silcotech North America was proud to once again support Caledon Community Services’ Velocity Ride. This year was especially important as Silcotech took on the challenge of becoming the Grand Tour Sponsor, in turn helping to make the 2026 event its most successful yet.

Held on June 20 at Caledon East Park, Velocity 2026 brought together hundreds of cyclists, volunteers, sponsors and community supporters. The event raised an outstanding $65,320.70, more than $10,000 above its original $55,000 fundraising goal, to help replace aging CCS vehicles that provide affordable and accessible transportation for seniors in the Caledon community.

Silcotech employees enthusiastically embraced the cause, earning recognition as the Largest Team of Velocity 2026. The accompanying photo captures representatives from Caledon Community Services presenting Silcotech with several commemorative certificates and awards in appreciation of the company’s sponsorship, participation and continued commitment to the event.

Transportation services supported by Velocity help local seniors attend medical appointments, purchase groceries and remain active and independent. With CCS anticipating the need to replace as many as seven aging buses by the end of 2027, the success of this year’s ride demonstrates how strongly local businesses, residents and volunteers believe in supporting seniors and caring for one another.

Silcotech extends its sincere thanks to the members of Team Silcotech, the organizers at Caledon Community Services, the 142 volunteers, fellow sponsors, donors and everyone who participated in this year’s ride. We are honoured to contribute to an initiative that delivers a meaningful and lasting impact throughout our community.
