Putnam Plastics completes clean manufacturing expansion

Putnam Plastics, a specialist in advanced extrusions and assemblies for minimally invasive medical devices, has completed construction on its latest expansion in Dayville, CT. 

The 57,000 sq. ft facility will be used as clean manufacturing space, increasing production capacity for both existing and new medical device customers. This new addition provides additional space for the company to continue to grow and support the growing needs of their partners within industry. 

This expansion has been added onto the existing headquarters in Northeast Connecticut. Similar to the corporate headquarters, this space was designed specifically with Putnam’s medical device partners in mind, offering additional clean manufacturing space to expand their product lines. Several new extrusion lines, along with braiding and coiling machines to manufacture reinforced catheter shafts are just a few of the new pieces of equipment that will be housed in this space. 

Along with the benefits of adding machinery and employees for additional production, by expanding the overall footprint of the headquarters, Putnam is able to keep everything under one roof, providing customers with quicker overall lead times and speed to market. By adding onto the existing facility, Putnam minimises logistical issues which increases overall efficiency. 

 “We are excited to complete our new addition. This space will allow us to increase our capabilities in manufacturing as well as product development,” said Jim Dandeneau, Putnam Plastics CEO.
