    The new 230,000-square-foot facility will be ISO 13485 certified, cGMP compliant, and U.S. Food and Drug Administration-registered and will house dedicated Injection blow molding, injection stretch blow molding, and injection molding cells. About 26,000 square feet of the facility will have ISO Class 8 injection molding and assembly cleanrooms with room for expansion. The new facility will feature a full-service mold prototyping lab, and dedicated mold sampling and development equipment to enable Comar to rapidly bring customers from ideation, to design, to prototype, to full production.

The facility will support manufacturing of complex finished medical devices and sub-assemblies incorporating injection molding, blow molding, high speed assembly, testing, and finished device pack out.

We are excited to amplify the Comar value proposition for our medical customers and create additional avenues to collaborate, reduce costs, mitigate risk, and further partner in their success as a single source of supply.”
