The facilities – located in Madison and Milwaukee, Wis., and Ashland, Mass. – will provide a broad portfolio of sterilizable medical device packaging substrates including coated and uncoated Tyvek, heat-seal and cold-seal coated paper and films, medical grade laminates and die-cut lids and labels.

Packaging and tubing supplier Tekni-Plex Inc. has completed its acquisition of three manufacturing facilities from Amcor Flexible Packaging that serve medical device OEMs.

The acquisitions were first announced in late-April, and the terms of the deal have not been disclosed.

Located in Madison and Milwaukee, Wis., and Ashland, Mass., the facilities provide a broad portfolio of sterilizable medical device packaging substrates, including coated and uncoated Tyvek, heat-seal and cold-seal coated paper and films, medical-grade laminates, and die-cut lids and labels, Wayne, Pa.-based Tekni-Plex said in a statement.

Combined, the three plants employ approximately 150 workers.
