The new manufacturing facility will have the latest state-of-the-art
equipment, operating ISO-7 and ISO-8 clean rooms, while meeting growing
regulatory standards for medical packaging. The plant will produce
pouches, lids, CleanCut cards, and roll stock, and will boast the latest
in printing technology with an emphasis on supporting its growing
medical device and pharmaceutical customers in the region.
"Southeast Asia is an important region for us, and this site was
strategically chosen to serve the large concentration of pharmaceutical
and medical device companies that currently operate in Singapore and
Malaysia. It will also help us strengthen our regional position and
address any future supply-chain challenges and gaps in expertise that
may impact the healthcare industry," said Michael Benevento, President
and Chief Executive Officer, Oliver.
In line with the company's commitment to embed corporate responsibility
and stewardship into its business practices, the Johor plant will also
emphasize sustainability throughout its manufacturing process. To help
mitigate its environmental impact within the healthcare industry, plans
for the facility include the installation of solar panels to supplement
and reduce dependability on local utilities. Additionally, some of the
materials used in the production process will be 100% recyclable, and
recycling programs will be implemented to not only reduce the amount of
scrap material generated during the manufacturing process, but also the
amount of waste sent to landfills.
"As healthcare demands continue to increase, our customers in the
pharmaceutical and medical device industries have witnessed impressive
sales growth across the region. Driven by our unwavering commitment to
innovation, quality, and service excellence, we look forward to better
serving our customers' needs and truly redefining the healthcare and
packing landscape in Asia," added Dr. Aldin Velic, General Manager,
Southeast Asia, Oliver.
Oliver also has a Technical Centre in Singapore where its research and
development takes place, as well as manufacturing plants in the United
States, Europe, and China.
