December 22, 2022 – Nelipak Corporation, a leading global manufacturer of rigid and flexible packaging solutions for medical device, diagnostic, pharmaceutical drug delivery, and other demanding applications, announced that it will establish a new flexible packaging production site in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
Nelipak currently supplies its industry leading range of healthcare flexible packaging products to customers worldwide from three production sites located in Europe. The addition of a new flagship production site in the U.S. will replicate Nelipak’s existing capabilities to support growing demand in the Americas region. Nelipak’s healthcare flexible packaging product line includes custom-designed roll-stock, die cut lids and sheets, pouches and bags. These products incorporate a range of material substrates (films, Tyvek®, papers, foil-laminates), as well as Nelipak’s range of heat-seal coating technologies Nelipak CR27 and Nelipak SBP2000.
The new site is a 110,000 square-foot, new construction Class-A industrial building which will be built out to Nelipak’s specifications for healthcare packaging production including ISO-7 clean room space and shall hold ISO 13485 certification. Nelipak expects the project to include approximately $20 million of capital investment and create approximately 80 new jobs over the next five years. The site is expected to open in late 2023.
This initiative is supported by the North Carolina One NC fund as well as the Economic Development Partnership of North Carolina who were key partners in the project that included the North Carolina General Assembly, North Carolina Community College System, Forsyth County, City of Winston-Salem and Greater Winston-Salem, Inc.
