With the completion of the deal, Computer Designs' current workforce has been transferred to Nelipak.
Furthermore, Computer Designs will now operate under the brand name Nelipak Healthcare Packaging.
With manufacturing facilities in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Arizona, and Puerto Rico, US, Computer Designs currently serves various medical device and pharmaceutical companies across the US and Latin America.
The company produces trays, clamshells, and blisters and expects to further develop its thermoformed packaging products and services under the Nelipak Healthcare Packaging brand.
Nelipak president and CEO Mike Kelly said: “We will leverage the unique capabilities of both organisations to delight our customers with innovative designs, world-class quality, and excellent service.”

TABPR produces thermoformed rigid packaging mainly for the medical device and pharmaceutical companies in Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic.
The company currently operates under the brand name of Nelipak Healthcare Packaging.
