C-P Flexible Packaging division Cleanroom Film and Bags (CFB) is set to open a new solar-powered and ISO-certified packaging facility in Placentia, California.

The new facility allows CFB to meet the demand for high-quality, certified cleanroom packaging for an expanding customer base while sticking to its 100% American-made commitment.

It has ISO-certified cleanrooms with environmental monitoring temperature systems and a fully equipped laboratory.

CFB’s sterile packaging is created in regulated cleanrooms, where raw ingredients are turned into a finished, vacuum-sealed product without ever leaving the cleanroom.

The firm said that the cleanrooms’ converting equipment is integrated with 10 extrusion blown film lines. This method is said to ensure a high level of cleanliness.

The expanded manufacturing footprint also demonstrates CFB’s dedication to sustainability.

The plant is one of Orange County’s largest solar deployments, with 440 solar panels generating one-third of the cleanroom facility’s energy.

Cleanroom Film and Bags general manager Jaime Read said: “We are very excited about this expansion, which enhances our capacity and speed-to-market.”

C-P Flexible Packaging chief executive officer Michael Hoffman said: “CFB’s new state-of-the-art cleanroom facility raises the bar for cleanroom manufacturing.

“This new facility allows us to continue to meet the demand of our clients, stay at the forefront of cleanroom innovation and demonstrate our commitment to environmental responsibility.”

The company will host a grand opening ceremony and ribbon-cutting programme at the new facility on 16 June 2022.

CFB supplies sterile cleanroom packaging manufactured within custom-built cleanrooms for the medical, pharmaceutical, electronics, aerospace, semi-conductor, luxury good and food industries.

It became the part of C-P Flexible Packaging family in 2021.
