TekniPlex Healthcare has commenced production activities at its new 200,000-square-foot facility in Madison, Wisconsin.

Serving as the premier, flagship location for the company’s Barrier Protection Systems business, the plant will combine manufacturing technologies with materials science experts – all toward the goal of expanding capabilities and access to crucial protective solutions throughout North America and globally.

Marrying quality with high-volume production, the spacious new site strengthens TekniPlex Healthcare’s ability to support medical device and pharmaceutical companies, and ultimately their downstream partners, including hospitals, outpatient surgery centers, laboratories and patients, with reliable access to sterile barrier packaging that protects life-saving medical technologies. For the company’s global set of customers, the plant also helps ensure uninterrupted supply chains and expedient delivery windows.

The new plant 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 while consistently meeting customers’ expectations.

Among other vital solutions, the facility – TekniPlex Healthcare’s second in Madison, WI – will play a substantial role in producing coated and printed solutions that protect medical devices and wound care products from contaminants, helping improve patient outcomes. Fittingly for a flagship facility, the new plant will incorporate sophisticated modern manufacturing infrastructure. The plant’s sustainability profile is equally elevated, employing an ecofriendly-by-design approach that drastically minimizes waste.

“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 maximize our leadership in barrier protection materials science.”

Looking ahead, the spacious facility allows for ample near-future expansion opportunities. The company will continue to seek additional capability and capacity enhancements centered at this facility.
