Contract packaging organization (CPO), Tjoapack, has launched its new bottle packing line following a major investment earlier this year.
The new line, which is now operational at its facility in Etten-Leur, the Netherlands, triples the CPO’s capacity using high-throughput technology and caters for the growing demand for bottle packing services in Europe.
Tjoapack, which specializes in primary packaging for solid dosage forms, unit dose packaging, and secondary packaging, now has 19 packaging lines for blisters, wallets, and bottles. The company serves customers in more than 40 countries across Europe, North America, South America, Asia, and Africa.
“The investment has hugely increased our capacity, meaning we can now process 13,000 tablets per minute on our bottling lines,” Dexter Tjoa, director of corporate strategy at Tjoapack, said. “This will be of huge benefit to companies outsourcing their packaging requirements to us, particularly those in the generics market where reducing time to market, and therefore cost, is crucial.”
The new line is the latest part of an ongoing investment plan, according to the company.
Founded in 1989, Tjoapack is an independent contract packager of medicines handling around 25 million packs of pharmaceutical products per year, which is equal to 1.3 billion tablets. With specialization in track and trace, Tjoapack performs full serialization and aggregation on its packaging line from blister pack to pallet.
