(PlasticsToday) -- C&J
Industries (Meadville, PA) now has three Class VIII cleanrooms housing a total
of 25 injection molding machines following the completion of a two-phase $6
million plant expansion that boosted production capabilities for the
pharmaceutical and medical contract manufacturing firm by more than 50%. The
injection molding machines that were added range in size from 20 tons, with a
.56-oz shot, to 390 tons, with a 37.5-oz shot. All but one of the presses are
Toshiba all-electrics.
C&J has also opened a new and expanded QA lab, as part of the
expansion, fully equipping it to accommodate both new tooling and program
development, as well as on-going surveillance and monitoring of existing
production. The third phase of the building expansion will include the transfer
of 17 presses from the general molding room to a nearly finished 12,000-sq-ft
addition. That expansion will be a white room and house machines ranging in size
from 55 tons, with a 2-oz shot, up to 720 tons, with a 102-oz shot.
The final stages of the expansion, Phases IV and V, entail expansion and
renovation of the current contract manufacturing room, converting it into a
white assembly room. Once complete, C&J will have a Class VIII medical
device assembly room, with updates on these phases to be announced in the next
2-3 months.
