A domestic ophthalmic biomaterials technology company, deeply engaged in the field of ophthalmic biomaterials, has established the precision and stability of cleaning equipment as its core criterion for selecting cooperative brands, as these factors directly impact product quality in the research, development, and production processes. This very criterion also paved the way for a profound collaborative journey with Elma Schmidbauer.

I. Initial Contact and Long-Term Testing: A 2-Year Verification Laying a Foundation of Trust (June 2022 - 2024)

In June 2022, the ophthalmic biomaterials company first encountered the Elma Schmidbauer P70H Cleaning Machine. Given the extreme requirements for cleaning efficacy in ophthalmic biomaterials – necessitating strict control of residues while ensuring material compatibility – the company did not rush into a partnership. Instead, it initiated an in-depth testing phase lasting over two years. Throughout this extended period, the Elma P70H Cleaner demonstrated exceptional performance: cleaning efficiency remained consistently stable, and its adaptability showed no deviation across different batches of ophthalmic biomaterials, perfectly meeting the company's core needs for biomaterial pre-processing and post-production cleaning. This reliable performance gradually earned high recognition from the company's technical team and procurement department, planting a solid seed of trust for future cooperation.

II. Short-Term Adjustment and Domestic Substitution: A Phased Choice Amid Market Fluctuations (2024)

In 2024, influenced by factory efficiency fluctuations and to optimize the cost structure, the company temporarily switched to using domestic cleaning machines, concurrently conducting nearly a year of testing. This adjustment was a rational decision based on the operational realities at the time, primarily aimed at verifying the suitability of domestic equipment in basic cleaning scenarios. However, from the perspective of long-term production needs and the specific standards for ophthalmic biomaterials, the trustworthiness established by the Elma P70H Cleaner through its previous two years of testing, along with its irreplaceability in terms of precision and stability, always remained the preferred choice in the company's view.

III. Resumed Cooperation and Growing Demand: Continued Partnership Driven by Recognition (2025)

Following a comprehensive evaluation of the domestic equipment and considering the upgraded requirements for cleaning precision and stability driven by its own business development, the ophthalmic biomaterials company decisively decided to resume cooperation with Elma Schmidbauer in March 2025. It purchased three P70H Cleaning Machines at once, deploying them in the cleaning process for ophthalmic biomaterials on core production lines. This move served as a reaffirmation of the Elma P70H Cleaner's performance and a powerful testament to the long-term trust between the two parties. In September of the same year, as the company's R&D and production scale for ophthalmic biomaterials continued to expand, the demand for cleaning equipment increased further. The company once again approached Elma Schmidbauer with new procurement needs, marking the official entry of their collaboration into a new phase characterized by stability and continuity.
