Platinum Press, Inc. (PPI), a provider of healthcare packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical, medical device and animal care sectors, has acquired a new 60,000-sq.-ft. packaging facility in Pine Brook, NJ, with approximately 55,000 sq.-ft. dedicated to manufacturing and operations, and 5,000 sq.-ft. for office use.     
 
The new facility will be fully equipped and staffed to produce the same printed packaging components as its headquarters in Grand Prairie, TX. The new plant will offer digital, flexographic and lithographic printing capabilities, including several large format insert/outsert folders. PPI expects the facility to become fully operational in 1Q15, and will employ approximately 40 packaging professionals.
 
“Many of our clients’ pharmaceutical packaging components are currently being shipped into the NY/NJ area,” said Tom Miller, president and chief executive officer of Platinum Press. “Opening a New Jersey facility with the same capabilities as our Texas plant will ensure complete redundancy, reduce shipping costs, improve turnaround time and alleviate weather-related shipping/production issues.  The new Pine Brook, NJ location will also allow us to strengthen our position in the northeast market and better serve our expanding customer base.”
