Luo will continue to report to Russell Hubbard, senior vice president-international.
“The new appointment will enable Russ to increase his efforts on M&A activity in Asia and develop integrated global strategy for products that support the region’s growing pharmaceutical and medical device businesses,” Young said.
The new China facility will be producing Natvar’s recently-announced silicone extrusion tubing for catheters, feeding tubes, drug delivery and peristaltic pump applications. Production for micro-extrusion tubing that targets a wide variety of demanding infusion, neurovascular interventional therapies and surgical applications is expected to be onstream early next year. The facility also manufactures Colorite custom compounds for medical device applications, and Action Technology’s dip tubes used in a wide variety of food/beverage, pharmaceutical, personal care, industrial and household trigger sprayer, pump and aerosol applications.
