Reed-Lane, a contract packaging provider in New Jersey, has expanded its 132,000ft2 facility by 30% to increase its overall production.
As part of the expansion, the company is also adding fifth bottling line to the facility that includes an MPS 48-16 Slat Filler from the US-based Modular Packaging Systems, which manufactures and supplies packaging equipment to pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and vitamin industries.
In addition to Slat Filler, many other equipment are included in the bottling line.
The equipment include Model AU-3 Bottle Unscrambler from Kaps-All Packaging Systems, Model Met 30+ Metal Detector from Lock Inspection Systems, Model C8 Capper from Kaps-All Packaging Systems, Model AM-250 High Speed Induction Sealer from AutoMate Technologies, and others.
Reed-Lane president Patricia Elvin said the company's expansion in both production and storage capacity is a result of the overall growth it has experienced over the last several years - growth that has seen an increasingly diverse roster of pharmaceutical companies put their trust in Reed-Lane for contract packaging services.
"Reed-Lane has made a concerted effort to expand and hone our capabilities in all areas, and a large part of that lies in new equipment installations," Elvin added.
The company produces four main packages for the pharmaceutical industry including blister packaging, bottling, pouching and convenience vial filling.
Reed-Lane, since 1959, has been creating packaging solutions for leading RX, OTC, and generic drug companies.
