Healthcare Division Expansion

TekniPlex is a globally integrated company that provides innovative solutions through materials science and manufacturing technologies. A global leader in the healthcare and consumer products markets, TekniPlex provides medical device components and a multitude of materials science solutions that lead to a healthier and more sustainable world. Its solutions are found in some of the most well-known names in the healthcare, pharmaceutical, personal care, household, and food & beverage markets.

Headquartered in Wayne, PA, TekniPlex employs 9,000 team members throughout its operations in Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, Germany, India, Italy, Mexico, Northern Ireland, Slovakia, and the United States.

TekniPlex Healthcare utilizes advanced materials science expertise and technologies to develop and deliver critical solutions for medical and diagnostic devices, drug delivery systems and sterile barrier healthcare packaging applications. With a global reach, the division’s deep understanding of the greater pharmaceuticals and medical landscape helps it produce exemplary barrier properties for drugs and precision medical devices for interventional and therapeutic procedures.

In the medical device niche, TekniPlex Healthcare embodies a comprehensive CDMO partner capable of servicing every stage of the product life cycle, from design and development through component manufacturing and final assembly. Throughout its broad purview, the division’s ever-evolving portfolio helps meet demands for high-leverage medicines and mission-critical healthcare products that benefit care providers and patients.

TekniPlex Healthcare recently updated its organizational structure and will now operate through two core segments: MedTech Solutions and Barrier Protection Systems.

The MedTech Solutions segment serves the medical device industry, with materials science expertise, design, and precision manufacturing, covering a broad portfolio of compounds, tubing, metalworking, and engineering services.

The Barrier Protection Systems segment encompasses pharmaceutical delivery systems and medical barrier systems which include sterile barrier solutions, coated and laminated blister films, and molding solutions.

The plant currently features a sophisticated new air knife coater that allows TekniPlex Healthcare to significantly increase its supply of coated Tyvek® and heat seal coated reinforced papers for various medical device, pharmaceutical, and diagnostic applications, reinforcing the division’s long-term commitment to serving customers in this space. The plant also features a new wide-width eight-color high-definition flexographic printing press, allowing us to meet the critical printing needs of both the medical device and pharmaceutical industries.

The plant was built with a sustainability mindset and greatly minimizes waste, as only two sources of waste leave the facility – hand carried garbage bags and separated recycled waste. 95% or more of the waste regenerated at South Madison is recyclable. Two dedicated compactors are utilized for paper and plastic, and compressed air exhaust is also reclaimed to assist in the heating of the production area.

This facility serves a vital role in the production of solutions that protect medical devices and wound care products from contaminants, helping improve patient outcomes around the world.

The large facility allows for ample future expansion opportunities for the Healthcare division. The air knife coater and flexographic printer will soon be joined by other assets, including a second flexographic printer, a cantilevered slitter rewinder, and a reversible salvage rewinder. The division will continue to evaluate the remaining space for further expansion.
