Nelipak Strengthens Healthcare Packaging Capabilities With Technipaq Acquisition

The acquisition brings nearly 200 employees into Nelipak and expands its flexible, sterilizable packaging capabilities for medical devices, pharmaceuticals, and life sciences.

Cranston, Rhode Island, 11 November 2026 – Healthcare packaging plays an important role in protecting medical products, maintaining sterility, and ensuring that essential supplies reach healthcare facilities safely. As medical technology advances, packaging manufacturers are facing growing expectations for quality, reliability, and specialized solutions. Recognizing these changing needs, Nelipak Healthcare Packaging has completed its acquisition of Technipaq, Inc., strengthening its presence in the flexible healthcare packaging market across the Americas.

Under the acquisition, Technipaq's business, leadership team, and nearly 200 employees will become part of Nelipak. The move brings together two companies with complementary capabilities and a shared focus on serving the healthcare industry. It is also expected to expand Nelipak's product offerings and strengthen its ability to support customers across medical device, pharmaceutical, diagnostic, and life sciences applications.

Headquartered in Crystal Lake, Illinois, Technipaq has built its reputation through more than four decades of experience in flexible, sterilizable packaging. Founded in 1984 by Phillip J. Rosenburg and Janice Rosenburg, the company developed its business under family leadership before transitioning to the second generation, led by Brian Rosenburg and Jeanette Rosenburg Corridon.

Over the years, Technipaq has invested in manufacturing technologies and production capabilities to meet changing customer requirements. Its operations include facilities in Crystal Lake and Cary, Illinois, both certified to ISO 13485 standards for quality management in medical device manufacturing. Its capabilities include slitting, printing, air knife coating, laminating, and bag and pouch converting.

These processes allow the company to produce different types of healthcare packaging, including header bags, pouches, lidding materials, and rollstock. Technipaq is also an authorized converter of DuPont Tyvek, using the material alongside resin-based films and aluminum foils to manufacture packaging designed for sterilization and other demanding healthcare applications.

For Nelipak, the acquisition adds manufacturing expertise and established customer relationships. The company's flexible packaging capabilities in coating, laminating, and bag and pouch converting are expected to complement its existing operations in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.

Pat Chambliss, CEO of Nelipak, welcomed the Technipaq team, recognizing its history of growth, technical capabilities, and customer focus. He also highlighted how the combined expertise would strengthen the company's ability to serve healthcare customers.

Brian Rosenburg, president of Technipaq, described the acquisition as an important step for the business, offering opportunities to serve customers on a global scale and expand its product range.

Nelipak currently operates 16 facilities across the Americas, Europe, and Asia, with a workforce of more than 1,800 employees. Its portfolio includes rigid and flexible sterile barrier packaging systems, along with design, prototyping, tooling, validation, and laboratory services.

The acquisition reflects the growing importance of specialized packaging in healthcare manufacturing. By bringing together established expertise, production technologies, and customer relationships, Nelipak is positioning itself to support the changing requirements of medical and pharmaceutical packaging while extending its reach across international markets.
