Ropack Launches Stickpack Facility

Ropack began stickpack production at its new 15,000-sq.-ft dedicated manufacturing suite. The $9 million facility provides uni-dose packaging of solid oral dosage in four Class 100000 clean rooms, each with low relative humidity (20%), controlled temperature and controlled residual oxygen to 4%.

To ensure product integrity, mechanical rooms are positioned so that there is no interference from outside elements. Also, according to the company, flow of product and personnel assures cleanliness and efficiency and strict procedures and documentation are followed to maintain the highest standards.

“We have taken every step to ensure that our new dedicated suite far exceeds what is available elsewhere to our clients,” said Yves Massicotte, Ropack’s president and chief executive officer. “It is our goal to be the top North American facility for stickpack production and packaging of all humidity- and temperature-sensitive products.”

“Stickpacks are a convenient and highly marketable packaging option, so we are enthusiastic about spearheading efforts in North America,” added Paul Dupont, director of business development. “I believe we can provide the pharmaceutical and consumer health-care industries the highest level of quality and efficiency in stickpack packaging.”
