C&J Industries, a leader in medical device contract manufacturing and plastic injection moulding, has announced the completion of an additional expansion to its facilities.
The Pennsylvania-based custom injection moulding manufacturer has added four new all-electric Toshiba presses in the past two months, along with a new AGIE Charmilles FO550 Die-Sinking EDM machine, bringing the total investment over the past four years in new capital equipment and expansion projectsto more than US$10m.
In 2011, the company completed a $6.8m expansion and renovation project that became fully operational in January of 2012. With the latest purchase of new equipment there are now 50 injection moulding machines at the facilities, ranging from 20 tons to 720 tons of clamping pressure. C&J Industries currently has three Class 8 cleanrooms for moulding. It also has a 2,500ft2 Class 7 clean assembly room for medical devices.
'This expansion was in response to double digit growth over the three previous years,' said David Lennox, vice president of Operations for C&J Industries. The company has increased its operations in all market segments, including medical devices, telecommunications, industrial, consumer, pharmaceutical and transportation.
