About KTW Franziska Hönle e.K.
KTW Franziska Hönle e.K. is a sole proprietorship established in 1999, based in Stötten am Auerberg (Allgäu), specializing in contract manufacturing of medical devices. The focus is on processing and finishing medical tubing, wires and pipes as well as producing components for catheter manufacturing, both for peripheral (PTA) and coronary applications (PTCA). The service portfolio includes cutting, shrinking and expanding of plastic tubing including PTFE, proximal and distal balloon shaft manufacturing to customer specifications, crimp sleeves, shrink labels, kink protection and protective sleeves, as well as printing of Luers, markers, shafts, tubing and stainless steel tubes. In addition, the company manufactures prototypes for business partners, develops customer-specific medical devices and technical solutions for manufacturing processes, and acts as an outsourcing partner. Production takes place in an ISO Class 7 cleanroom (EN ISO 14644-1); the company is certified to EN ISO 13485. Materials processed include plastics (particularly PTFE and plastic tubing) as well as stainless steel tubes. Customers come from the medical device and catheter industry in Germany and abroad.
