Genesis Plastics Welding to expand operations
Construction will include a new ISO Class 7 Standard certified medical cleanroom
Genesis Plastics Welding, a US-based provider of contract plastics welding and manufacturing services, is to expand its operations in Fortville, Indiana, creating up to 54 new jobs by 2014. Construction is scheduled to be completed by December 2011.
The company, which serves OEMs in the medical, military, automotive and consumer products sectors, plans to invest more than US$3.3m (€2.37m) to add 50,000ft2 of production space at its existing facility. Construction also will include a new ISO Class 7 Standard certified medical cleanroom.
Founded in 1987, Genesis attributes its recent growth to increasing demand for its proprietary plastics welding technology, ecoGenesis, which enables radio frequency welding of plastic materials previously considered difficult or impossible to heat seal without the addition of often toxic adhesives or plasticisers.
The company manufactures products including helmet padding, blood pressure cuffs, inflatable fluid bladders, hot and cold therapy packs, compression therapy sleeves, medical instrument covers, disposable heating blankets and drainage bags.
