Over 50 years ago, in Ecouen in France Vygon opened the doors to its first factory for single-use medical and surgical products. Now we are a global company turning over hundreds of millions of Euros annually, of which Vygon UK contributes in excess of 50 million pounds each year making it the largest contributor in terms of turnover.
We have more then 2,350 employees globally, over 150 of which are here in the UK, and we produce over 100 million products each year, 76 per cent of which are manufactured in our own factories.
The responsibility for setting and delivering Vygon’s business strategy lies with the company’s Senior Leadership Team (SLT). As highly experienced experts in their individual specialties, they work together to plan the future direction of the company based on commercial priorities as well as a retrospective evaluation of Business Unit and departmental performance.
Collectively the team helps to define the company’s mission, vision and values around the needs and wishes of our customers. By bringing together expertise in sales, finance, marketing, technology, regulatory affairs, customer service and logistics, the SLT represents every aspect of Vygon’s business operations.
At Vygon, we’re continuously working to reduce our environmental impact from the manufacturing of our medical devices and general waste deposable, to our energy wastage and fleet car emissions. We’ve implemented measures to reduce this impact whilst sourcing an efficient route for our manufacturing, including our packaging process that makes both ecological and economic sense.
As of November 2021, Vygon UK achieved a significant milestone by gaining Carbon Neutrality Certification.
Maintaining control and integrity over the products we supply is key to sustaining the hard-earned trust of our customers.
76 per cent of our products are manufactured within the Vygon Group and all of our main manufacturing and sterilisation sites have achieved ISO14001.
In addition, Vygon has introduced a number of procedures into the manufacturing process to demonstrate our commitment to respecting and protecting the environment.
At Vygon, we Value Life through our people. We encourage every member of our team to push for progress, and in doing so we support them on their professional journey.
