We're a single site. Are we too small for a programme like this?

No. The programme scales down to one cleanroom — you can also start with textiles only, or consumables only, and add services later. The standard and the documentation don't change with your size.

Doesn't putting everything with one supplier increase our risk?

It's the fair question to ask. Concentration risk is real, and it's why nine European facilities run the same quality system: if one can't process your garments, another can, to the same validated cycle. Compare that with four suppliers, each a single point of failure, none of whom sees your usage.

Our current suppliers are cheaper on unit price.

Unit price is where a fragmented supply base wins, and total cost is where it loses. Urgent orders, on-site stock, internal coordination time, and the downtime risk that a single day can price at more than the annual saving. We'll model it with you honestly, using your numbers.

We requalified our garments six months ago. Is this the wrong moment?

It's usually the right one. Your specification is current and documented, which makes the transfer straightforward — and it means we start from your validated requirement rather than proposing a new one.

CONTAMINATION CONTROL FOR REGULATED MANUFACTURERS

Everything your cleanroom needs, from one partner.

We manage cleanroom garments, cleaning, consumables, training and on-site support as one integrated programme, run to one validated standard.

THE GAP BETWEEN SUPPLIERS

Your contamination control strategy is only as strong as the suppliers inside it.

Garments from one company. Cleaning from another. Consumables from a third, training from a fourth. Each one meets its own specification and passes its own audit. None of them is accountable for how the four work together inside your gowning room.

You know this already. It's why supplier documentation is the first thing you check before an inspection, and the last thing that's ever ready.

Evidence you assemble, not evidence you have

Four suppliers, four documentation standards. Under Annex 1, the parts that sit with a supplier are examined as though they were yours - assembled while the inspector waits.

Gaps nobody is responsible for

A garment arrives validated. A wiper arrives certified. Whether they work together in your cleanroom sits between two contracts. Contamination doesn't respect a contract boundary.

Continuity set by your least-prepared supplier

One missing glove size can stop a line. When four suppliers forecast separately and none sees your usage, your weakest planner sets your continuity.

Savings a single day can erase

A 15–25% cut on unit price reads as a win. One day of unplanned downtime, an estimated €68,000 to €228,000, erases two to five years of it.

INTEGRATED CLEANROOM MANAGEMENT

All five, run as one programme. One organisation accountable for the whole of it.

CWS Cleanrooms runs textiles, cleaning, consumables, training and on-site support as a single validated programme. Same quality system, same evidence standard, across nine European facilities. You stop coordinating suppliers and start managing one relationship;

Textiles

Cleanroom garments, laundered and validated to the same standard every cycle.

Explore

Cleaning

Trained operators working to your SOPs, with documentation that survives audit.

Explore

Consumables

Gloves, wipes, garments and disinfectants supplied as a managed programme - buffered, forecast with you, and certified online.

Explore

Training

Role-based cleanroom training for operators, cleaners and supervisors, mapped to the standards you're audited against.

Explore

On-site service

Airlock stocking and day-to-day cleanroom logistics, run by our people on your site.

Integrated Cleanroom Management

Run any combination of the five as one coordinated programme with a single point of accountability, one quality system, and one set of reporting.

WHERE THE RISK SITS

Which risks stay yours. Which become ours.

Consolidating suppliers should never mean losing control of your quality system. It means moving the operational risk you're allowed to delegate, and keeping the accountability you aren't. Most suppliers describe themselves as partners. Fewer will publish which risks they take on, because publishing it means being held to it.

You own

Your contamination control strategy, and every decision inside it.
Your cleanroom classification, SOPs and release criteria.
Final QA approval, and your relationship with your inspector.

We own

✓ Validated decontamination and sterilisation, revalidated annually against three test organisms to a minimum reduction of seven log stages.
✓ Garment availability, item-level traceability, and enforced maximum wash counts.
✓ Consumable buffer stock, joint forecasting, and certificates available 24/7.
✓ Operator and cleaner competency — trained, tested and documented per person.
✓ Supplier-side audit evidence, prepared before the inspection rather than assembled during it.

“We want all of it under one contract.”

One programme across all five services, one contact, one standard, one set of data.

Integrated Cleanroom Management

“We're seeing contamination events.”

There are five routes contamination takes into a cleanroom. We close each one, and show you how.

Contamination Control

“We can't afford to stop.”

Buffer stock, forecasting done with you, and nine European facilities running one quality system.

Cleanroom Continuity

“An inspection is coming.”

Get the supplier-side evidence in place before an inspector asks for it. Annex 1 sections 2.5, 7.4 and 7.11–7.17, covered.

Annex 1 Audit Readiness

Pharmaceutical manufacturing

Since the 2023 revision, an inspector treats your garment programme as a qualified GMP process. We run it that way — Grade A/B, and Annex 1 sections 7.11–7.17 evidenced as a matter of course. Including biologics, vaccines, cell and gene therapy, generics and CDMOs.

Explore

Medical device manufacturing

Your garments, cleaning and gowning competency are outsourced processes inside your ISO 13485 system and your MDR technical documentation. A notified body can audit them, unannounced. We make sure they hold up.

Explore

Semiconductor manufacturing

A defect far below a micron is enough to scrap a die, and garments are a contamination source you buy rather than engineer. Validated for ISO 4 at rest and ISO 5 in operation, with electrostatic control built in.

Specialists, not generalists

Everyone on your account works in cleanrooms and nothing else. 1,650+ people, 40+ years, one field. You won't be explaining what Grade B means.

Evidence over opinion

We test claims before we make them. Every product and process is validated against a named standard, not described with an adjective.

Problems solved together

When your site doesn't fit the standard programme, we build around it with you. There's no script for that conversation, and no call centre at the end of it.

Garment sizing and specification, stock build, operator training, and your documentation transferred without a gap.
