Project Kick-off

From Manufacturing to CDMO Programme with a Major Hearing Aids Company

On 8 and 9 April, Cicor and the customer’s teams held a two-day project kick-off workshop, marking a significant step in expanding our engagement with this key hearing aids customer.

The session brought together eight Cicor experts and approximately fifteen colleagues from the customer. This project is our first full CDMO programme with this customer, with development activities being led by Cicor Nordic Engineering in Sweden and manufacturing execution taking place in Romania. Building directly on the momentum of our first manufacturing-only project with this customer, secured one year ago, it demonstrates a clear progression in trust, scope, and value creation.

Beyond formal project alignment, the workshop also served as an effective platform for cross-organisational team building. Through open discussions and collaborative working sessions, both teams gained a deeper understanding of each other’s operating styles, expectations and working methods. The Cicor team was particularly impressed by the customer’s professional, transparent and collaborative culture, which aligns closely with our own values when it comes to delivering complex development programmes.

The outcome of the two-day engagement was a well-aligned project foundation, clear technical and execution pathways, and, equally importantly, a shared sense of motivation and commitment across both organisations.

This milestone strengthens our partnership with a key strategic customer and reinforces Cicor’s continued focus and presence in the hearing solutions segment. Our capabilities in miniaturisation, precision plastics, and integrated electronics position us strongly for long-term growth in this area.

With alignment achieved and momentum established, both teams can now move forward with confidence as we begin the next phase of development, marking the official “lift-off” of this important programme.
