Extending Business Facilities in Ohio
To strengthen its presence in northwest Ohio, where the company does its global development and research, plans are being reviewed to add 32,000 square feet of production space to its existing R&D lab in Springfield Township. These packaging expansion plans will also create an additional 25 employees.

According to a local economic development official, the company yet has not made any official announcements or decisions regarding the project. However, news that was released in March from the business indicated that they would go ahead with the expansion as predicted.

Tekni-Plex Invests $4.5 Million Towards the Expansion
Recently, a $45 Million financing package was approved by the Toledo Lucas County Port Authority through the ports bond fund to cover the cost of the expansion and pay off the mortgage on the company’s current building.

According to Paul Toth, the Port Authority’s President, and CEO, under the agreement, the authority would take possession of the building and lease it back to the company for at least fifteen years. He said that the industrial business is a very high-tech company, and they are considering bringing production to northwest Ohio.

The proposed expansion would mean that the current building would double in size and according to the timeline that the company shared with them, the expansion would commence as soon as possible.

In March, the business announced a new line of barrier bags for medical and pharmaceutical device packaging, and it has stated it is planning to manufacture the materials for it at its Springfield Township building.

According to David Andrulonis, V.P and General Manager of flexible packaging at Tekni-Plex, merging the latest technology with their global footprint will help the company generate a seamless supply source for both its multinational and regional pharmaceutical customers.
