LAS VEGAS, NV (July 2, 2021) –– Westfall Technik, Inc. (“Westfall”, the “Company”), a global holding company that provides superior manufacturing solutions for the production of plastic parts in the medical, packaging, and consumer goods industries, announced today the acquisition of Carolina Precision Plastics, LLC (d/b/a “CPP Global” or “CPP”) and its wholly owned subsidiaries. 

The deal greatly strengthens Westfall’s geographic footprint by adding its first plants in the southeastern United States, specifically in Mocksville and Asheboro, NC, as well in Kaiping, China, in Guangdong Province. “This provides a further supply-chain advantage to Westfall when it comes to serving key customers in both the packaging and healthcare sectors,” said Merritt Williams, the firm’s Chief Commercial Officer. “CPP’s North Carolina plants are ideally located to serve the multitude of brand owners with a manufacturing presence in the surrounding area.” 

CPP, which runs about 100 injection molding machines in its three facilities, also brings expertise in vital secondary services, such as high-volume, fully automated assembly and sophisticated decorating capabilities. In total, CPP’s three plants cover some 335,000 square feet of manufacturing space. 

“This is just the next step in creating a truly world-class molding and tooling business that is built on a strong culture and unquestionable customer service,” according to Westfall CEO and founder Brian Jones. 

A leader in North America in the injection molding of heavy-wall PET jars, CPP also operates an innovative, collaborative design center and has a strong sustainability profile. The firm is a significant user of recycled resins and biopolymers in its products.

“This highly strategic, synergistic deal greatly strengthens our presence in the fast-moving consumer goods segment,” said Mark Gomulka, Westfall’s Chief Operating Officer. “CPP Global is a valued packaging supplier to several leading personal care and beauty companies, such as L’Oréal (serving their L’Oréal Paris and Kiehl’s brands), Estée Lauder, and Burt’s Bees, among others.” 

For CPP Chief Executive Officer Brian Tauber, the partnership with Westfall offers a clear path forward for continuing the upward growth trend that CPP Global is experiencing right now. “I’m thrilled to combine our strengths with the breadth and depth of Westfall’s capabilities to enhance our ability to provide our employees, customers, and other stakeholders with more opportunities to grow together,” said Tauber. 

The terms of the investment were not disclosed. Westfall was represented by Morrison Cohen LLP as legal counsel. CPP Global was represented by Sheppard, Mullin, Richter & Hampton LLP as legal counsel and Stifel as financial advisor.

LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Fast-growing plastic molding and tooling specialist Westfall Technik Inc. is answering the call from medical device OEMs who need more North American manufacturing capacity by significantly boosting its clean-room capabilities.

The Las Vegas-based firm has just completely refitted a brownfield structure and opened it as a purpose-built, 40,000-square-foot facility near Chicago that features three Class 8-certified clean rooms and one white space certified for meeting Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). It further expects the clean rooms, which can accommodate up to 23 injection molding presses, to gain ISO 13485 certification by this September. The GMP-compliant space, meantime, has the room to take up to 15 molding machines. Press sizes will range from 35 to 400 tons in clamping force.

The site also features a fully functional tool room, with dedicated, climate-controlled mold storage space, according to Chief Operating Officer Mark Gomulka.

Additionally, in just the past 18 months, Westfall tripled its clean-room space in Riverside, Calif.; doubled it in Union City, Calif.; and installed new clean rooms in both New Richmond, Wis., and in Tijuana, Mexico, he said.

This all is part of growth spree that has seen the firm acquire or launch some 19 businesses in North America in less than four years.

Westfall Technik is operating on the “If we build it, they will come” strategy as it relates to medical molding capacity, Gomulka notes, because “as soon as we put out one of our footprints, we sell it out immediately.”

The new site has a molding history, having begun as All West Plastics Inc in Antioch, Ill., just northwest of Chicago. Germantown, Wis.-based custom injection molder and toolmaker MGS Mfg. Group Inc. then bought the plant in 2006, before shuttering it in 2020 to consolidate production in Wisconsin.

Technik bought the shell of the factory and gave it “a total facelift,” and Gomulka says he has hired several experienced employees who had worked at the plant under MGS.

Westfall also plans to install three of its M3 micromolding machines in the Chicago plant, and make it a micromolding center of excellence. The M3 is an all-electric, precision micromolding technology that Westfall acquired when it bought Ontario, Canada-based Mold Hotrunner Solutions Inc. (MHS) in December 2018. The machine can micromold, without waste, highly engineered materials such as bio-absorbable resins into microscopic-sized parts.

Additionally, Westfall is considering shifting production of its NxtBio brand of bioscience laboratory consumables to the new Chicago site. The company in May 2019 acquired Claremont, Calif.-based NxTBio Technologies, whose product line includes pipette tips, filter tips, tubes and strip tubes, vials, multi-well plates, and related racking systems.

“Ultimately we will be investing millions of dollars in new, all-electric machines for this site,” said Gomulka. While not committing yet to which types of presses they will buy, he said that Westfall’s preferred electric brands are KraussMaffei, Sumitomo, Netstal and JSW.

Westfall’s portfolio of healthcare-related products includes medical devices, pharmaceutical delivery systems, diagnostic tools, and consumer health products. This includes the molding of plastic parts used in Covid-19 diagnostic rapid testing for both home and clinical use.

The new Chicago plant helps to fill out the company’s regional production capacities, notes Gomulka. “This is a necessary location for us, right in the Midwest, in the middle of the medical corridor that runs from Chicago up to Wisconsin.” In the Midwest, the company already operates facilities doing toolmaking in Willernie, Minn.; molding in New Richmond, Wis.; and both tooling and molding in Wakefield, Mich., in the state’s Upper Peninsula.
