Nelipak, global provider of packaging solutions for medical device and other applications, announced the opening of its first North American flexible packaging production site, located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
The site is a 110,000-square-foot new construction Class-A industrial building purpose-built to Nelipak’s specifications for healthcare packaging production, including ISO-7 clean room space, all new production equipment and ISO 13485 certification.
The new Winston-Salem site establishes a North American flagship production site for Nelipak’s range of healthcare flexible packaging products, which are also supplied to customers worldwide from three European production sites. The addition of the new production site will replicate Nelipak’s existing capabilities to support growing customer demand in the Americas region. Nelipak’s healthcare flexible packaging line includes custom-designed roll-stock, die cut lids and sheets, pouches and bags. These products incorporate a wide range of material substrates (films, Tyvek, papers, foil-laminates), as well as Nelipak’s heat-seal coating technologies which include Nelipak CR27 and Nelipak SBP2000.
“We are thrilled to announce the opening of our first flexible packaging site in the Americas, bringing our high-quality flexible healthcare packaging products closer to our customers in the region,” said Pat Chambliss, CEO of Nelipak. “We are open for business in Winston-Salem and are actively developing and delivering high-quality sterile-barrier packaging solutions which also help our customers deliver on their sustainability and business continuity objectives.”
