Highcare Cleanrooms: low dust and ready to use with international ISO certification
Lids on baby food, communication equipment for rockets, cytostatics for hospitals-just a few examples of products manufactured in a Highcare cleanroom. This Tilburg-based company has been designing, manufacturing and installing metal cleanrooms according to the Industrial Flexible & Demountable (IFD) system for twenty-five years.
Highcare is the only one in the market to supply cleanrooms completely ready to use, including walls, floors, HEPA filter units and technical installations.
Fast, efficient and with luxurious appearance
All components of a Highcare cleanroom are industrially prefabricated and perfectly matched. This results in a higher construction rate and lower costs. In addition, customers have only one point of contact, making the process clear and efficient.
According to director-owner Bas de Bruijn, Highcare offers unique metal cleanrooms with a luxurious appearance, high classification and integrated air conditioning.

Increasing demand for cleanrooms
Demand for cleanrooms is growing rapidly, especially in sectors such as semicon, precision mechanics, (bio)pharmaceuticals, food industry and aerospace.
“More and more business processes require special conditions to put together reliable and reproducible products,” says De Bruijn. “The technology in sectors such as semicon or FSSC 22000 is so advanced that the air must be extremely pure, with the right relative humidity and temperature. A single particle of dust can already disrupt the production process.”
In addition to purity, reliability plays an increasingly important role. “Customers want to avoid errors at all times. Not just one-hour reliability, but 24/7, at every measurement time, long-term and in large quantities.”
Highcare has fully specialized in these demanding sectors.

Flexible and movable: the stand-alone system
An important advantage of the IFD concept is that the cleanroom can be placed stand-alone in an industrial hall, as a box-in-box system.
“This is especially attractive for young entrepreneurs. When they move to larger premises after a few years, the clean room can easily move with them,” De Bruijn said.
Highcare: from design to installation
The cost of a cleanroom depends on the project and ranges from €150,000 to €1.5 million. Highcare supplies renowned customers such as DSM, VDL, Arion, BasicPharma, Louwers Hanique, Weener Plastics, Nearfield and Antwerp Space.
In the coming year, Highcare is focusing on further international expansion. The company already operates in Belgium, Germany, Eastern Europe and has plans to expand to Brazil and the Middle East.
