Saniton Plastic, a provider of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle production services, has opened a new manufacturing facility and started large-scale production of custom plastic bottles and bottling solutions in Cornwall, Canada.
The new 106,000ft² renovated facility is located in the Cornwall Business Park at 3400 Montreal Road overlooking the St. Lawrence River.
It features advanced blow-moulding equipment, which will facilitate the production of a full range of PET recycled plastic bottles.
The manufacturing line of the facility includes automated filling, capping and custom labelling machines as well as provides packaging solutions.
Saniton Plastic executive coordinator Makiah Virtue said: “The new facility gives us ample space for our production needs with room to grow in the future.
“Cornwall’s strategic location makes it easy for us to ship our products to our customers.”
At present, Saniton Plastic is producing bottles to meet the demand of its sub-division – True North hand sanitisers.
The Canadian firm produces and packs Natural Health products under the True North brand for distribution across the world.
Saniton Plastic stated that it is implementing Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) to ensure the safety and quality of the products.
Saniton Plastic COO Lana Pacheco said: “The pandemic has significantly increased the demand for work and Covid relief essential products. We are proud to offer a “Made in Canada” solution to our clients and to contribute to the Eastern Ontario economic re-launch.”
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the demand for hand sanitisers in the country has increased exponentially since the beginning of 2020.
According to a recent forecast, the global hand sanitiser market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 22.6% from 2020 to 2027.
Saniton Plastic vice-president Ramzi El-Khatib said: “We don’t simply produce bottles, we forge relationships, strengthen partnerships, and share our client’s vision. Our commitment is to produce products with uncompromising quality.”
