Classic draws Ace for medical molding

Ace Plastics (Hong Kong) and Classic Industries (Latrobe, PA) completed a formal agreement to establish a joint venture company in Shanghai to mold systems for healthcare and medical-device OEM manufacturers. This operation will include medical moldbuilding complemented by injection molding and assembly in a cleanroom operating under ISO 13485.

“Combining the strengths of Ace & Classic will make us a very strong and competitive company in the medical industry,” said Jack Yeung, formerly VP sales and marketing, but, since Jan. 1, CEO of Ace. Ace Plastics has moldmaking and injection molding facilities in Shenzhen and Shanghai. Classic Industries is a medical molder and contract manufacturer, which, in addition to its new venture in China, also has two processing facilities in Pennsylvania, one in El Paso, TX, and one in Puerto Rico. All of these are cleanroom facilities certified to ISO 13485.—[email protected]
