Tjaopack announces completion of Netherlands facility expansion

Tjaopack has announced the completion of its expansion plans, following a €10 million plus investment, at its Etten-Leur facility in the Netherlands.

This is the company’s latest investment, following its acquisition of US healthcare packaging firm, Pharma Packaging Solutions (PPS) in 2021. The CPO, which specialises in primary, secondary packaging of oral solids and injectables, has doubled its capacity with the addition of ten new production rooms, and increased the size of its Netherlands facility from 8,400sqm to 11,500sqm.

Three new production lines have been added, as well as a fully automated packaging line for vials, with the capacity of packing 12 million vials per year. There are also two new high-speed production lines for oral solids, capable of packing over 500 blisters per minute each. The Tjaopack Netherlands facility now has a total of 18 packaging lines for blisters, vials, and bottles.

Tjaopack has also invested in its warehousing and cold chain capabilities to meet increased customer demand for its added value logistics services.

Boy Tjoa, Managing Director of Tjoapack Netherlands, said: “Packaging is of course fundamental to the safe, effective delivery of virtually every pharmaceutical product.

“I am proud that through our expansion we can help bring even more products to market safely. 

“We remain committed to our European headquarters and this latest investment is an important step to meeting the growing needs of our customers and assure healthcare products are usable, available, traceable and affordable.”
