Neopac US, Inc., a global manufacturer of primary packaging for the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, has chosen Wilson, NC, for its first U.S. manufacturing plant and new North American headquarters. The company will build a new high-tech facility for high barrier Polyfoil tube production at the Wilson Corporate Park and will work with the local government and education system to train new employees.
NC Governor Roy Cooper commented: “We are working hard to bring well-paying, fulfilling jobs to people in North Carolina, and Neopac is an example of the kind of company we want here—they are bringing quality, well-paying jobs and they’re ready to help train people to fill them.”
Neopac US was incorporated in Delaware in 2011 and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hoffmann Neopac AG, based in Switzerland. Neopac US creates high-barrier tubes used for pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulas. With this project, Neopac will build a new facility with a clean room and high-speed tube line, the first for small diameter Polyfoil tubes with up to 8ml content. The total yearly capacity of this line will be 80 million tubes. The facility will have room for expansion, with up to four high-speed production lines.
“For the last two years, we’ve done a detailed evaluation for a suitable site location in the U.S. and we are pleased to locate our new U.S. headquarters in Wilson, a community that matches perfectly with our requirements for qualified people, supportive government, a high quality of life and proximity to our customers,” said Mark Aegler, CEO at Hoffmann Neopac AG.
The North Carolina Department of Commerce and the Economic Development Partnership of N.C. (EDPNC) were instrumental in supporting the company’s expansion decision.
In addition to North Carolina Commerce and the Economic Partnership of North Carolina, other key partners in the project include the North Carolina General Assembly, the North Carolina Community College System, Wilson County, the City of Wilson the Wilson Economic Development Council and Wilson Properties, Inc.
