Fulflex, a prominent name in global healthcare manufacturing, has successfully completed the acquisition of a sizable 300,000-square-foot, fully automated manufacturing facility located in Jacksonville, Texas. This state-of-the-art facility is situated on a 30-acre campus and marks a monumental investment into the East Texas region, simultaneously enhancing Fulflex's capacity and capabilities in the healthcare sector.

The acquisition not only adds significant physical assets but also brings over 250 skilled employees into the Fulflex family, establishing Jacksonville as one of the company’s premier manufacturing sites on an international scale. The plant specializes in producing a diverse array of critical medical products essential for healthcare providers and patients globally. Moreover, its advanced production capabilities—which encompass plastics injection molding, blow molding, thermoforming, extrusion, assembly, and cutting-edge automation—underscore Fulflex’s commitment to delivering high-quality and dependable manufacturing solutions.

The strategic acquisition significantly boosts Fulflex’s healthcare manufacturing footprint within North America, bolstering its capacity in polymer processing and automated production techniques. The operational expansion not only enhances manufacturing flexibility for customers but also provides robust supply chain resilience and geographic diversity.

With a history rooted in manufacturing and passed down through generations, the Garware family aims to build upon the operational excellence established in Jacksonville. This venture is part of a larger commitment to technological innovation, quality assurance systems, and employee development. “Every acquisition begins and ends with people,” added Garware Ibanez. “We are grateful for the dedicated and experienced employees from Jacksonville who form the backbone of this facility.
