Oliver Healthcare Packaging will be celebrating the grand opening of its 1,450 square metre cleanroom on 28th June.
The company says the $15 million investment in Venray is pivotal to enable its medical device and pharmaceutical customers to provide uninterrupted service to patients in Europe and globally. The new cleanroom will allow Oliver to triple its manufacturing footprint and further employment opportunities in a critically important market, in Limburg.
Over the last ten years, Oliver HCP has made significant investments in the EMEA region. The last four years, the market dynamics have evolved such that there is a much greater focus in our market to source and produce locally. We know how important it is to produce packaging in region, for region, to de-risk the supply chain, serve the customer effectively and more importantly be a more environmentally conscious business.
Oliver Healthcare Packaging is a converter and supplier of healthcare packaging; producing packaging to protect medical devices and pharmaceutical products. The company’s packaging is developed and designed to protect the sterile barrier around these medical devices. Examples of such devices are heart valves, knee implants, catheters or syringes filled with vaccines. These products go into the human body, sometimes even to stay there, so they must be sterile. Oliver’s packaging protects these products throughout the sterilisation, shipment, and storage processes until they are opened in an operating theatre, hence cleanroom production.
