The new contract packaging facility will feature Snapsil, the easy-open portion pack technology, and several other single-dose, easy-open packaging formats for household, automotive, industrial, garden, and adhesive products.
Snapsil has been developed by Australian-based Snapsil and was introduced by T.H.E.M in the North American consumer packaged goods market.
T.H.E.M vice-president and contract packaging general manager Tom Martin said: “We’ve seen steady growth and interest in non-food applications for our single-use flexible packaging solutions, and will support both domestic and global brands with evaluation, test marketing, initial production scale-up, and full-scale contract manufacturing and packaging.
“This new contract packaging centre provides the next step in meeting the demands of the market, and our customers.”
