A global provider of health care packaging for medical device, diagnostic, pharmaceutical drug delivery, and other applications has started building a new production facility in Costa Rica.
Nelipak® Corporation says the 60,000-square-foot, Class-A industrial facility will significantly expand the company’s regional capacity and capabilities when it opens next year.
“This investment underscores our long-term commitment to our customers in Latin America and the Caribbean and reflects our strategy to provide global excellence with strong local support,” Pat Chambliss, CEO of Nelipak, said in a statement.
It has operated in Costa Rica since 2012, providing medical device manufacturers with thermoformed trays, die-cut mounting cards, and other custom packaging products. The new facility will broaden production capabilities to include thin- and heavy-gauge thermoforming, die-cut pouch cards, and inserts. It will also offer enhanced warehousing and distribution space for the company’s flexible packaging product lines and allow for future expansion as customer needs evolve, the company says.
Nelipak has 1,400 employees and 11 sites worldwide.
