Prent Expands Secondary Operations
Above, Prent Corporation recently expanded its Secondary Operations to help customers meet a host of marketplace challenges.
Custom Engineered, Multi-Step Services Now Available
JANESVILLE, WI—October 3, 2007—Responding to a growing customer need, Prent Corporation has expanded its Secondary Operations services and facilities to include complex, custom, multi-step, automated processes.
Prent Corporation, with facilities in Wisconsin, Arizona, Puerto Rico, Shanghai, Singapore and Malaysia, is the industry’s largest thermoformer of medical packaging and a major manufacturer of thermoform packaging for the electronics and consumer markets.
“Pricing pressures, rising insurance, labor and training costs, inefficiencies, erratic quality, coupled with FDA validation and other regulations are all factors driving our customers to seek expanded secondary services from Prent,” according to Joe Pregont, Prent President and CEO.
“Another key driver of this trend,” he continues, “is peace of mind because we provide customers with high quality, automated services, coupled with traceability and repeatability.”
In response to this demand, Prent has developed a new one-stop, Class 100,000 clean room for value-added operations. Each secondary system is custom designed and engineered to perform multi-step operations in a six sigma, lean manufacturing environment.
Some of the many secondary operations available include:
- Match metal part trimming
- RF and sonic sealing
- Tyvek and lid stock sealing
- Part assembly
- Part decorating, pad printing, hot stamping
- Multi-part assembly
- Part measurement data
- Labeling

- And more
