Harmac Medical Products, a contract design and manufacturing organization (CDMO) for single-use medical devices, has built a second facility in Tijuana, Mexico.
The new facility triples manufacturing space with 106,000 square feet of space, with a plan for 32,000 square feet of ISO 7 and ISO 8 cleanrooms, warehousing, engineering offices, quality management labs, and other facilities to bolster growing operations.
Harmac said the building will house integrated services including design for manufacturability (DFM), tooling and automation, and process and product validation. The site will also feature injection molding, RF welding, laser processing, and other manufacturing capabilities.
Harmac said it expects the facility to be production-ready in early- to mid-2024.
“We’ve experienced tremendous growth with both existing and new customers and are making ongoing investments to support their current and future needs,” John Somers, president and CEO of Harmac, told the press. “Our new facility will provide extra manufacturing capacity for customers who are looking for a dependable, high-quality manufacturing partner in a near-shore location. It will also allow us to offer a complete solution in Mexico, from resin to finished packaged device.”
Harmac has manufactured products in Mexico since 1999 and opened its first, wholly-owned facility there in 2014. The existing facility is about 15 minutes from the new building, and has 55,000 square feet of manufacturing space with around 450 employees.
The company said it will keep operating both facilities under the purview of a shared management team.
“Our new facility will feature state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment in a brand-new building,” Somers said. “It will be a great place to work, and we look forward to hiring additional associates in a wide range of roles.”
