James Alexander Expands Packaging Plant by 40%

Contract packaging and manufacturing company James Alexander Corp. has expanded its Blairstown, NJ facility. The new 18,000-sq.-ft. build offers 40% more floor space. With the addition, the facility has 48,000 square feet. The expansion includes additional room for warehousing, administrative offices, and manufacturing.

The expansion addresses growing market needs for the company’s range of single use dispensing systems, including crushable glass ampoules and unique plastic ampoules with a selection of applicators for the pharmaceutical, diagnostic, beauty, and industrial markets.

The company is also planning to build an integrated line of automated filling/assembly machines to increase capacity and allow for future growth. Other areas are dedicated to two new company-designed automated swabbing machines, which bring a significant uptick in overall production capacity for glass ampoule packages.

Space has been set aside for other near-future manufacturing infrastructure investments to meet expanding market demands. James Alexander designs and builds much of its own equipment, so additional space provides the room to take new machine solutions from concept to reality.

Warehousing space also has been expanded, and certain sections enhanced with a sophisticated HVAC setup for tightly controlled temperature storage.
