Rondo-Pak Opens New Facility in Puerto Rico

Rondo-Pak, a provider of folding cartons to the pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device industries, has opened a manufacturing and distribution facility in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The new location offers climate controlled manufacturing and warehousing space, and gives Rondo-Pak a foothold on an island well known for its flourishing healthcare products manufacturing industry.

The new facility allows Rondo-Pak to provide a low-risk packaging option to pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers.  Rondo-Pak will use the facility to make folding cartons, and eventually will expand the plant’s production capabilities to include other printed packaging components.

Executives believe the facility’s location is a major advantage: San Juan has Puerto Rico’s largest port, and is the convergence point for many of the island’s major highways. Such benefits will enable Rondo-Pak to optimize supply chain solutions, as well as transport products to customers throughout the greater Caribbean region.

Puerto Rico’s stature as a prime location in the healthcare and pharmaceuticals sectors has seen a resurgence over the past few years, thanks in part to its installed base of biopharmaceutical manufacturing assets, its skilled workforce talent pool and superior tax incentives.

“Our new facility provides an on-island alternative for Rondo-Pak’s folding cartons and packaging solutions,” said Victor Dixon, President & COO of Rondo-Pak.  “Supported by Korber’s Medipak Systems and Rondo AG—Rondo-Pak’s parent company with multiple manufacturing locations worldwide—our team of pharmaceutical packaging experts can address a wide variety of customer needs.”

Founded in 1934 as Rondo AG in Basel, Switzerland, Rondo-Pak serves the pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device industries by providing a broad range of folding cartons. The company’s solutions include cartons for child resistant and senior friendly packaging as well as compliance packs and packaging for clinical trials.
