Copan To Expand US Pipet Manufacturing Operations

Published: 27-Aug-2009

Expanded Copan's capabilities to include blow molding machinery, filling and packing equipment

Copan has announced the expansion of its US operations. The company plans a new multimillion dollar investment project to bring plastic transfer pipet and additional medical device manufacturing operations to its facility in Murrieta, California. The expansion plan includes the addition of blow molding machinery and filling and packing equipment to expand Copan's current capabilities.

To support the expansion, Copan has purchased a 13,000sft building adjacent to its current facility to house new plastic blow molding equipment used to manufacture transfer pipets. The new building allows the transfer of some activities from its current location freeing up space to expand medical device manufacturing operations for the company's microbiology specimen collection and transport line.

Norman Sharples, EVP of Copan, said: In today's market, companies must examine opportunities to bring further efficiencies to their operations to remain competitive, which is what we are doing with this endeavor.

“The initial phase of manufacture will focus on the three most popular pipets: 1ml, 3ml and Blood Banking pipets. During this phase, Copan will produce 300,000 pipets daily with plans to increase production in 2010. Copan is excited about this new venture as it greatly expands the capabilities of our US operation and allows Copan to enhance service to our customers. This expansion also marks the 15th anniversary of Copan's operations in the US.
