Who's Behind Our Website

Van der Stahl Scientific has had a web presence for nearly 20 years, as one of the first packaging equipment websites. From the very beginning, we have developed and maintained our own website in-house. Because our firm is very quality centered, we did not want to outsource this important part of our company with an uninterested third party. But we think the really interesting story behind our website is that it is not coded by a traditional HTML-type web master. Thomas, our software engineer, codes it, it is much like a surgeon taking out a splinter, but hey we love over kill. Further, it is not designed by a traditional web designer, but is instead design by Charlie, our in-house regulatory liaison and machine innovation engineer.

You’d be hard pressed to find another site hand-crafted with such detail. We invite you to visit our blog and read about emerging issues in medical device packaging. We always welcome your comments. Should you have any questions regarding content on our website, feel free to give us a call or sent us a message on our Contact Us section of the website. And keep your eye out for future Internet innovations. We are currently working on a few new interesting portions of the website, such as our Machine Technician Certification Program that allows maintenance individuals from medical device companies to get trained online on how to properly service and care for our machinery. Individuals who complete the training become certified after finishing the testing, which demonstrates the technician thoroughly understands the process of preventative maintenance for the equipment we create. Visit our online radio program “The Validation Report” and listen into this unique feature of our website.

That’s just some of the many Internet innovations coming your way in the coming years. Thanks for visiting the site and thank you for all of the warm comments over the years regarding the Van der Stahl Scientific website.

Best regards,

Thomas and Charlie
