Expanded space will be a cleanroom environment for precision plastic injection moulding and assembly


Plainfield Precision has completed an ISO Class 8 cleanroom to position itself as a true contract manufacturing partner for Medical OEMs looking to utilise the strategic infrastructure of the Dominican Republic.

Operating in the Dominican Republic as Pixley Richards, Plainfield Precision believes the country offers a strategic manufacturing location for medical OEMs looking to reduce freight costs and lead times, while leveraging a competitive cost environment. The Dominican Republic is an ideal location to service the Americas and Europe.

'As part of our strategic intent to grow our medical business, the building of a cleanroom was the logical next step for us,’ says CEO Jonathan Soucy. ‘We chose to do this in the Dominican Republic because of our commitment and belief that the Dominican Republic offers unique benefits for medical OEMs.”

The expanded space will be a cleanroom environment for both precision plastic injection moulding and assembly. Moulding capabilities will range from 30 ton to 250 ton machines, and the assembly room is capable of handling multiple contract manufacturing projects at one time.

Located in the Zona Franca Las Americas in Santo Domingo, Plainfield Precision-Dominican Republic is a custom manufacturing centre specialising in precision plastic injection moulding and assembly for the medical device industry.

In addition to the engineering support from Plainfield Precision-Plymouth, Massachusetts, the Dominican Republic facility has a skilled technical staff, full metrology lab and on site machine and mould maintenance.
