Omega Plastics continues its expansion into the medical device industry by completing a 3,000 square foot white room which houses a permanent class 8 clean room. The white room is also accompanied by three portable clean rooms as Omega looks to offer its clients fast and flexible molding and assembly capabilities. “We know we need to have the flexibility to support our clients’ development as well as capacity to support production,” says Chris Buch, business development manager of Omega Plastics. “The addition of a large white room and another clean room allows us to do that for both molding and assembly.”
Omega began clean room molding several years ago in order to meet the demands of an ever-growing medical device client base. Omega’s many years of experience in manufacturing “project critical” engineered plastic components was a natural fit for the demands associated with white room and clean room molding. “The innovation happening with resins and the intensifying requirements around manufacturing quality for medical devices requires an experience supply-partner armed with the right capabilities. The addition of a white room and clean room is one of the ways we express our focus on being a great teammate to our medical clients,” says Jeff Kaczperski, president of Omega Plastics.
Omega was founded in October 1984, during a time when the marketplace was clamoring for faster tooling and injection molding solutions. Because of Omega's ability to produce quality components in extremely short lead-times, the company continued to grow until operations were spread in three separate facilities. In 1995 the company moved to its current location in Clinton Township, MI - consolidating all operations in one 70,000 square foot facility where it provides custom manufacturing solutions for a global client base.
