NewAge Industries AdvantaPure(R) Completes Its Clean Room Expansion Project; New Space Will be Used for Molding and Assembly
NewAge announces the completion of a clean room expansion at its headquarters in southeastern PA. The tubing manufacturer will use the area to produce molded silicone connections and Single-Use tubing assemblies for biopharm and pharmaceutical applications such as vaccine production. The company is also renovating another building to expand its TPE and silicone tubing manufacturing capacities.
- Philadelphia, PA-NJ (1888PressRelease) September 30, 2021 - NewAge(R) Industries, the manufacturer of AdvantaPure high purity tubing products, recently finished an expansion project at its southeastern Pennsylvania headquarters. The company relocated an office, employee lockers, and a storage area to convert 3,100 sq. ft. into another ISO Class 7 certified clean room.
The renovated section is now integrated with the company’s manufacturing suite. Following air quality testing, injection molding presses, quality inspection tables, and assembly and packaging stations were moved into the new room. The area is used as additional space to manufacture molded connectors and tubing assemblies.
Demand for flexible tubing and Single-Use assemblies increased significantly due to the pandemic. Orders for the company’s AdvantaSil(R) platinum-cured silicone tubing and reinforced hose and for its AdvantaFlex(R) weldable and sealable TPE products are at all-time highs.
“We simply needed more room and equipment to make and assemble products,” noted Ken Baker, CEO. “We expanded our clean rooms just a few years ago, and this was another big undertaking. But it was necessary. We have customers who are depending on these critical items used in vaccine development and production.”
Baker added, “Our output has already grown with the space increase. Some of the orders we receive for assemblies involve large and complex systems. We’ve got more room for this work now, and we’re shipping finished tubing assemblies to customers every business day.”
Along with this completed expansion, NewAge is renovating a 90,000 sq. ft. building purchased in 2020. This facility, located in Warrington, Pa., and only seven miles from the company’s headquarters, will house several additional clean rooms for high purity tubing extrusion. Packaging, quality inspection, and warehousing will be accommodated.
“With these expansions comes the need for additional team members to help manufacture these important products,” said Baker. “Our hiring initiatives involve sign-on bonuses and on-the-job training to attract new employees in this competitive job market.”
