Technipaq invests in sophisticated air-knife coating machine

Technipaq, a manufacturer of flexible sterilisable packaging solutions, has announced its investment in one of the industry’s most sophisticated air-knife coating machines. 

As an authorised converter of DuPont Tyvek, the installation of this new production line equips Technipaq with the unique ability to apply proprietary coatings to Tyvek for healthcare product offerings in-house. This places Technipaq amongst a small group of medical packaging manufacturers who can claim such capabilities. 

Designed in collaboration with one of the world’s top manufacturers of coating equipment, this new line also serves to expand and enhance Technipaq’s breadth of Rollstock, Lidstock and Header Bag product offerings, as well as bolster levels of customisation. 

Technipaq president and CEO Brian Rosenburg said: “Our long-standing mission to consistently deliver increasingly higher quality packaging solutions to our customers is perfectly encapsulated by the addition of such new and innovative coating technology. This represents one of the most important, future-forward investments in our 35-plus year history. Simply put, this means more efficient processes and higher-quality products for our customers.”

Built for continuous coating operation, the new line features a web-based master control that allows for real-time end-to-end monitoring of all production processes. This brings tighter quality control to the process and ensures greater product uniformity. Additional benefits include increased customisation and flexibility, greater product diversity, and faster delivery.  

Rosenburg added: “The collaborative partnerships we share with our customers affords us an intimate understanding of their pain points, as well as insight to emerging needs. We make it a top priority to follow through on these learnings with real-world practical solutions. For decades it is a formula that has fuelled business growth—for our customers, our partners, and for Technipaq.”
