Tek Pak officially announced the grand opening of its new Research and Development Center in St. Charles, IL on June 1, 2009. The new 10,842 sq-ft building was purchased in 2008 as a result of Tek Pak’s expanding product development program, which had outgrown its facilities in the main manufacturing plant in Batavia, 3 miles away. The entire facility is environmentally controlled, and it contains a HEPA-filtered laboratory for operations that require limited amounts of air-borne particles. In addition, installation of an ISO-classified clean room is scheduled for the 3rd quarter of 2009 for medical device packaging operations.
A total of 5 thermoforming lines are currently operating in the Center which process films made from engineering resins that include Ultem™, Valox™, Lexan™, and PEEK™. Other proprietary processes include a laser cutting system for intricate drilling and trimming operations and a conveyorized system to thoroughly clean and dry thermoformed parts prior to packaging.
Tek Pak works with companies to develop and bring to market a variety of highly engineered thermoformed products. Due our confidentiality policies with our product development customers, we cannot disclose specifics of any of these of projects, nor will we divulge the names of the companies we have worked with under these agreements. When you come to Tek Pak with your product development needs, you can be assured of the highest levels of confidentiality and professionalism. Let our product development engineers help you solve your most difficult challenge.
