Pexco LLC is expanding its Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico, manufacturing location. The expansion, designed to support specifically its growing medical division, will include a new building and manufacturing space with a dedicated medical manufacturing clean room environment adjacent to its current operation.
Pexco plans the expansion to be production-ready by August to bolster its medical device manufacturing capabilities in the Tijuana region and America’s West Coast.
“This expansion, coming on the heels of our acquisition of Spectrum Plastics last year, further underscores the focus and commitment of our business to the medical plastics market,” Pexco President Neil Shillingford said. “Pexco has been in medical plastics for over 50 years and the Baja California region remains a strategic center for medical manufacturing if not the capital of medical device manufacturing in North America. It is a necessary investment to support our customers, their needs and growth, and the continued success of our Mexicali operation for medical tubing, profile extrusion, and other value-added services.”
Pexco has had a manufacturing presence in Baja California since it acquired the Multitube extrusion operation in May 2011 and claims to be the only independent local Mexican medical plastics extruder in the Tijuana medical manufacturing cluster zone. The company currently manufacturers from a 17,000-square-foot facility featuring a Class 8 clean room and 10 production lines. The expansion will add approximately 31,500 square feet of production and warehouse space to the current footprint with a 7,600 square foot clean room for the company’s medical division.
