Fruh Packaging, Inc. in Exton, PA opened in early 2024 as a new establishment and state-of-the-art production facility. Früh Verpackungstechnik, located in Fehraltorf, Switzerland, is a leading Swiss industrial company that develops solutions for complex packaging needs. This expansion into the USA marks a significant milestone, supporting their contract packaging services for medical devices and replicating the high standards and comprehensive service catalog available at their Switzerland location.
Working closely with the team at Fruh and Hankin Group, Precis Engineering + Architecture assisted in designing this new 42,900 SF facility, with an additional 21,100 SF planned for future expansion. The facility includes an ISO 7 primary packaging cleanroom, ISO 8 final rinsing and materiel airlock and gowning rooms, and a CNC incoming inspection and final packaging area. The cleanrooms feature modular construction with a viewing corridor and ample exterior daylight.
Precis collaborated with Fruh on the interior office layout, finish selection, and furniture procurement to match the clean and modern aesthetic of the Switzerland headquarters. The facility includes a large employee cafeteria for up to 50 people, supporting office areas, and a spacious showcase lobby for clientele to view product displays and demonstrations, complete with adjoining conference rooms.
