Farmaceutische verpakkingsfabrikant kiest Wilson voor nieuw Noord-Amerikaans hoofdkantoor en eerste Amerikaanse fabriek

Ministerie van Handel van North Carolina - 4/9/2018

RALEIGH: Neopac VS, Inc., een wereldwijde fabrikant van primaire verpakkingen voor de farmaceutische en cosmetische industrie, koos Wilson County for its first U.S. manufacturing plant and new North American headquarters, creating up to 44 new jobs and investing more than $30.8 million, Governor Roy Cooper announced today. The company will build a new high-tech facility for high barrier Polyfoil® tube production at the Wilson bedrijfspark and will work with the local government and education system to train new employees.

“Neopac is an example of the kind of company we want here in North Carolina,” said Governor Roy Cooper. “They are bringing high-quality, good-paying jobs, and they’re ready to help train people to fill them.”

Neopac US was incorporated in Delaware in 2011 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hoffmann Neopac AG, based in Switzerland. Neopac US creates high-barrier tubes used for pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulas. With this project, Neopac will build a new facility with a clean room and high-speed tube line. The facility will have room for expansion of up to four high-speed production lines.

“De afgelopen twee jaar hebben we een gedetailleerde evaluatie uitgevoerd voor een geschikte locatie in de VS en we zijn blij dat we ons nieuwe Amerikaanse hoofdkantoor in Wilson kunnen vestigen, een gemeenschap die perfect aansluit bij onze eisen aan gekwalificeerde mensen, ondersteunende overheid, een hoge levenskwaliteit en nabijheid tot onze klanten”, aldus Mark Aegler, CEO van Hoffmann Neopac AG.

“Our new pharma-focused facility prepares us to better meet the current and future needs of our North American customers and, together with our facilities in Europe, Hungary and India allows us to be the world-wide solutions partner to all customers,” said Douglas Voreis, Managing Director at Neopac US Inc.

Salaries will vary by position. Once all positions are filled, the annual payroll impact will be approximately $2.8 million.

“Wilson County has a strong manufacturing presence, and that’s because the workforce and the infrastructure here is strong,” said North Carolina Commerce Secretary Anthony M. Copeland. “Neopac will move into the Wilson Corporate Park, joining companies including Fresenius Kabi, and will work with schools, community colleges and NC Works to make sure we keep training Wilson’s workforce for the jobs of today and tomorrow.”
