Certification is part of the company’s growth initiative to meet the increased demand for medical device contract manufacturing.

VISTA, CA, March 23, 2023 /24-7PressRelease/ — Pacific Plastics Injection Molding (PPIM), a division of Diversified Plastics, Inc. (DPI), is proud to announce that it has achieved ISO 13485:2016 certification for the medical device industry.

Planned during the company’s 2021 expansion, PPIM is in preparation for the installation of a 1,500-square foot cleanroom for plastic injection molding as well as a white room for assembly and packaging. Combined, the DPI facility in Minnesota and the PPIM facility in California total 99,000 square feet. The Minnesota location also has two ISO Class 8 cleanroom (Class 100,000)—one for micro injection molding.
