Comar, a provider of speciality packaging solutions and custom moulded medical devices and assemblies, has opened a new 230,000ft² facility in Rancho Cucamonga, California, US.

The company has celebrated the completion of its Rancho 2.0 Project with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new West Coast facility.

The new facility consists of injection moulding, injection blow moulding and injection stretch blow moulding cells.

Comar said that the project will consolidate employees, equipment, and operations from the company’s Rancho Cucamonga and Garden Grove, California plants into a new facility.

The company has added 50,000ft²  of ISO class 8 clean rooms and white rooms (controlled not-classified), which will be used for the manufacturing of diagnostic consumables, medical devices and sub-assemblies.

Comar’s new site also consists of a full-service design, development, and prototyping centre, which complements the company’s current east coast and mid-west innovation and development hubs.

According to the company, the new facility will be ISO 13485 certified, cGMP compliant, and FDA registered.

Comar CEO Mike Ruggieri said: “The dedication of the new Rancho Cucamonga facility is an inflection point for our organisation. We dreamed of bringing together all our west coast capabilities under one roof and elevating them to the highest standards achievable.

“It is an exciting space and will be a source of immense pride for our employees. For our customers in the medical and healthcare space, the investment will only advance our ability to deliver solutions that help them enhance and extend lives!”

During the last 18 months, the company has expanded its operational footprint by more than 40% with the opening of new manufacturing plants in New Jersey, Wisconsin and California.

In November last year, Comar broke ground on a new 159,000ft² manufacturing facility in Vineland, New Jersey.

Based in Voorhees, New Jersey, Comar manages nine strategic manufacturing and distribution locations.

The firm uses various plastic moulding technologies such as injection moulding, injection blow moulding, injection stretch blow moulding and extrusion blow moulding, which are complemented by a full suite of value-added service offerings.
