T.O.Plastics: Empowering Organizations with State-of-the-Art Thermoforming Solutions

We listen and understand the pain-points that the client is facing and then being proactive we address to those needs

Their laboratory packaging solutions include high-speed in-line and cut sheet capabilities, thin- and heavy-gauge thermoforming, and precision finishing. T.O.Plastics also offers critical customer-specified secondary operations for lab tray and vivarium applications like five-axis trimming/routing, steel rule and heated forged die, line bending, and assembly operations. So, whether medical devices and products need blister packaging, clamshell packaging, packaging trays, plastic enclosures, or panels, T.O. Plastics designs medical packaging solutions that meet the unique requirement of the customers. “Moreover, we believe that listening is a critical factor in building the right solution for our customers. We are an extension of the customer’s team and leverage our customer centered design process which focuses on listening and understanding the pain-points to proactively provide best-in-class solutions,” says Mike Vallafskey, President, T.O.Plastics.

In an instance, T.O. Plastics worked along with a customer, a large publicly traded global medical device company, looking for custom thermoforming solutions. The company brought a challenging design concept for its medical equipment packaging — however, T.O. Plastics being expert in the field, not only were able to build as per the client’s needs but provided with an even better product after making some design tweaks. The prototype provided by T.O. Plastics proved to be much better in the surgical setting. As a result, the client was delighted with the improvised design and awarded the job to them.

Moving forward, T.O. Plastics is keen on upgrading their capabilities even further; they are improving their facilities with new state of the art thermoforming machines that are technically advanced. “We are adding 30,000 sq. ft. of additional space by the end of 2020 at one of our facilities,” states Vallafskey. Besides, T.O Plastics is introducing vertical integration to support the medical device packaging and extrusion capabilities.
