US-based packaging company Comar has finished building a 230,000ft² manufacturing facility in Rancho Cucamonga, California.
The facility features injection moulding, injection blow moulding and injection stretch blow moulding cells.
Comar has also built ISO Class 8 clean rooms and white rooms covering 50,000ft² of floor space. These will aid the production of diagnostic consumables, medical devices and sub-assemblies.
The plant also houses a full-service design, development and prototyping centre to support the company’s existing innovation and development hubs in the East Coast and Midwest regions of the US.
Comar initially announced plans to build the facility last February.
Comar CEO Mike Ruggieri said: “The dedication of the new Rancho Cucamonga facility is an inflection point for our organisation.
