A major expansion by US-based Oliver-Tolas Healthcare Packaging will include the enlargement of the cleanroom manufacturing area at the company’s facility in Venray, The Netherlands.
The expansion of the Oliver-Tolas Netherlands cleanroom facilities includes a 120sqm ISO 8 certified cleanroom and 1500sqm warehouse.
“The expansion demonstrates Oliver-Tolas’ commitment to the European sterile-grade packaging market,” says Rutger van Dooren, the Pennsylvania-based company’s international managing director.
At the Venray facility, Oliver-Tolas currently produces lids and pouches utilising both its Xhale and SealScience adhesive coated products.
The newly added space will be utilised for preparation of printed roll stock products and additional capacity for lid production.
In the US, the company has also acquired a 4,600sqm facility adjacent to its base in Feasterville, PA, with additional warehouse space already in operation and plans for a new cleanroom facility.
And the company has also launched manufacturing in Suzhou, China, having first opened a sales office in 2006 to support demand from China-based medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturing.
“Now we are bringing die-cut lid manufacturing to China paired with our core adhesive technologies and robust quality system,” says Jeff Murak, VP sales & marketing.
