Primed® has plastics expertise dating back many years. The company started out as a metal-working company in 1946, going by the name 'Wiesmann & Co. KG'. A few years later, the company was nationalized and later made part of a consortium. In addition to plastic consumables, various medical products were developed during this period. In 1992, after Germany's reunification, the company became a private family-operated business again and was renamed Primed® Halberstadt Medizintechnik GmbH. At this point, the company has placed a solid focus on making high-quality medical products.
