Comar, a provider of custom medical devices and assemblies and specialty packaging solutions, has acquired US-based Omega Packaging for an undisclosed sum.
Based in La Mirada, California, Omega Packaging is engaged in the manufacturing of a range of packaging products, including child resistant (CR) and continuous thread (CT) closures and single, thick, and double-wall jars.
The company produces injection and blow moulded products for the customers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, sports nutrition, and skin care markets.
Comar sales and marketing executive vice president Scott Conklin said: “Pairing Omega Packaging’s successful product portfolio with Comar’s geographically diverse network will enable us to serve our customers in the healthcare, personal care, and food and beverage markets in new and exciting ways.”
Comar stated that Omega’s line of child-resistant (CR) closures and precision mould-building capabilities will boost the company’s strategy to serve healthcare customers with end-to-end custom manufacturing capabilities and an expanded product portfolio.
The acquisition will allow Comar to deliver customers with a range of rigid packaging solutions, in addition to providing increased CT and CR closures capacity and an optimised production network.
Comar CEO Mike Ruggieri said: “We are thrilled to welcome the Omega team to the Comar family.
“Omega Packaging has a distinct reputation for customer responsiveness and creative problem solving that aligns exceptionally well with Comar’s mission to bring transformative packaging and medical solutions to market.”
In August this year, Comar opened a new 230,000ft² facility in Rancho Cucamonga of California. The new facility includes injection moulding, injection blow moulding and injection stretch blow moulding cells.
With nine strategic manufacturing and distribution locations, Comar uses various plastic moulding technologies such as injection moulding, injection blow moulding, injection stretch blow moulding and extrusion blow moulding.
