Micro Mold Co., Inc. & Plastikos, Inc. in Erie recently announced a major facility and equipment expansion in order to satisfy the growing production demand
from its global medical device OEM customer base.
The facility expansion will comprise more than 17,000 square feet total of additional state-of-the-art space at Plastikos, with the heart of the medical expansion being an ISO 7 (Class 10,000) injection molding cleanroom that will accommodate eight (8) brand new medical molding machines.
Plastikos’ medical expansion also will include a separate ISO 7 assembly and packaging lab, as well as corresponding medical production support departments (for example, maintenance, toolroom, quality, general office and meeting room space, etc.). The new ISO 7 cleanroom will be one of the largest Class 10,000 cleanrooms available in the injection molding industry.
Plastikos’ total production capacity is projected to increase by more than 30 percent once the medical expansion is fully equipped and staffed, which, in turn, will create significant new customer, project, and employment opportunities over the coming years. The target completion date for the project is slated for first
quarter 2015.
Plastikos is a custom injection molder that works closely with its sister company, Micro Mold, on high precision mold design and fabrication, engineering, and production services for small, tighttolerance applications.
