BRENTWOOD INDUSTRIES EXPANDS MEDICAL THERMOFORMING AND PLASTIC INJECTION MOLDING TO TIJUANA

Co-Production International  managed Brentwood's expansion into Mexico providing support with site selection, cost analysis evaluation, tenant improvements and the successful establishment of their new clean room facility. CPI also manages Brentwood's daily administrative fuctions under the CPI's Shelter Program.

Walter Banta is one of the managing directors of Brentwood’s Specialty Products Group, under which the new Tijuana facility falls. By expanding to Tijuana, Brentwood’s international expansion model aims to deliver value to current and potential customers in their local geographies. This new site will also provide a critical capability: operational redundancy. Brentwood is confident that adding a new ISO Class 7 clean room environment will offer medical OEMs the security and flexibility required for critical projects.

Brentwood joins over 44 medical device manufacturing companies already in Tijuana, with over 79 companies for the entire state of Baja California. Brentwood’s Tijuana team will be a true extension of their headquarters in Reading, Pennsylvania, where they will undergo months of training while the new facility build-out is completed. Once production starts south of the border, the Tijuana team will have full access to all resources in Reading. International mainstays such as Care Fusion, Medtronic, DJO International and Greatbatch Medical, amongst others, are a draw for other US and international manufacturing companies looking to get closer to their existing customer base.

Co-Production International is strategically headquartered in San Diego, CA, and is the premiere Administrative Services Provider in Mexico. Our role is to handle the complete set-up of your operation and manage the day-to-day administrative duties in accordance with Mexican regulations allowing you to control and focus 100% on manufacturing.

Brentwood explains that it’s the breadth of their product portfolio that has enabled their geographical expansion. Though their Tijuana facility will focus on thermoformed medial packaging, they also have product applications for industrial batteries, cooling towers, storm water management, transportation, and water and wastewater. To serve customers in all these markets Brentwood already maintains seven US facilities from coast to coast and three international operations located in Thailand, the Czech Republic, and India.
