Right on the heels of one another, Prent Corporation is opening two new global facilities, further enhancing its presence in the world packaging marketplace. Prent Corporation thermoforms custom packaging for the medical, electronics and consumer industries. This month in Shanghai, Prent China moved into a new, much larger and modern facility. The company’s first European facility is slated to open in Denmark right after the Holidays.
Prent China was a victim of its own success. After five years of extraordinary growth, it simply out-grew its old facility in Shanghai. But this month it moved into a sparkling new building—twice as large as the previous one—with plenty of room for expansion.
The new facility is a full service, high tech thermoforming operation. Its capabilities include sales, product design, thermoforming, production control, secondary operations, as well as just-in-time delivery.
“Since Prent entered the China market five years ago, we’ve experienced fantastic growth,” according to Joseph T. Pregont, Prent President and CEO. The new facility, located within a secure private compound, will accommodate future growth. It currently employs 300.
The building is divided into three Class 8 Clean Rooms. "Customer response to our new facility has been excellent,” reports BJ Nielsen, Prent Asia President, who oversees Prent’s operations in Eurasia. “They’ve expressed satisfaction with our modern facilities, advanced production capabilities and internal controls.
After months of construction, Prent’s plan to open a European thermoforming facility to serve the European operations of its large global medical customers is coming true. Prent Denmark is slated to open January 4, 2010.
