TekniPlex Healthcare has begun production at its new 200,000 sqft facility in Madison, Wisconsin.
Serving as the flagship for the company's Barrier Protection Systems business, the site will bring together manufacturing technologies with field experts.
This US footprint expansion will allow TekniPlex to better serve its both its North American customers and those further afield.
The new site will support pharmaceutical companies and their downstream partners — including laboratories and hospitals — with reliable access to sterile barrier packaging.
TekniPlex's site also hopes to enhance supply chain resilience and expedient delivery windows.
It also holds an ISO 13485:2016 quality management system (QMS) certification, reinforcing the company’s commitment to providing safe and effective solutions for the medtech industry that satisfy regulatory requirements.
The facility is TekniPlex's second in Madison, and will play a key role in producing coated and printed solutions that protect medical devides and wound care products from contaminants.
It includes modern infrastructure such as an air knife coater and a new wide-width, eight colour, high-definition flexographic printing press.
TekniPlex has also considered sustainability in the construction of this facility, as 95% of the waste produced at this facility is recyclable.
“Our new flagship facility exemplifies TekniPlex Healthcare’s mission of improving patient care through solutions that protect, preserve, and perform,” said Suj Mehta, CEO of TekniPlex Healthcare.
“The products manufactured here directly impact patients’ lives. As a dedicated hub, the site not only expands our capacity and provides customers with supply chain assurances, but also serves as a knowledge base to build upon and maximise our leadership in barrier protection materials science.”
The facility is also equipped for near-future expansion, which include plans for a second flexographic printed, a cantilevered slitter rewinder and a reversible salvage rewinder.
