100% American Made: The Gold Standard for Specialty Products, Trust and Innovation Whether difficult times or a thriving economy, job creation and retention are consistently coupled with U.S.-made products at Fruth. As a global manufacturer and supplier of custom flexible packaging, Fruth has found its niche in producing specialty products for specialty markets.
From its engineering solutions to custom constructions, formulations and materials, Fruth serves a diversified client base in the automotive, aerospace, medical, pharmaceutical, agricultural, electronic, industrial and luxury goods industries.
More and more customers are seeking alternate packaging options, whether specialty or environmentally certified, and Fruth is uniquely suited to pivot to customer needs because the business is vertically integrated, producing 100% of its products in-house. Family owned and American made, Fruth’s extensive lineup of capabilities leverage the Fruth 360™ process. The vertically integrated manufacturing process allows the company to manage every step of production, from extrusion to conversion to printing and customization, in-house — ensuring the highest quality at every stage of production and saving clients time, budget and peace of mind. And all Fruth products are 100% American made, starting with raw materials sourced domestically. In fact, Fruth was one of the first companies to break down siloed plastics manufacturing that previously required customers to work with multiple companies and vendors to source a finished product — and Fruth does so at a lower price point.
Cleanrooms: Consistency in Manufacturing Excellence
Cleanroom manufacturing is another core business area for Fruth Custom Packaging and Cleanroom Film and Bags, which is currently constructing one of the region’s largest solar deployments to power its newest 28,000 square-foot facility. Cleanrooms are controlled environments custom built to manufacture packaging for medical, pharmaceutical, electronic, aerospace and military devices. These sterile rooms mitigate pollutants such as airborne microbes, aerosol particulates, chemical vapors and dust. They reduce contamination and control other parameters such as temperature, humidity and pressure. At CFB, cleanroom filtration systems are parallel to operating rooms and scientific research facilities. All employees undergo extensive training in contamination control, and gowning is required with masks, gloves, booties and hair coverings to reduce human contaminants like skin cells or hair. But cleanliness is only one part of the cleanroom process. Prevention of packaging additives leaching into products is another core component. Extensive testing is required to ensure no materials used in manufacturing will contaminate the products they are designed to protect. In additon to CFB’s in-house lab testing, including the use of a liquid laser particle counter and other testing methods, CFB undergoes third-party certification to verify the integrity and quality of its cleanroom production. In addition to the Orange County super facility currently under construction, CFB has four other cleanrooms in Southern California. Cleanrooms comprise 55% of the business, driving double-digit growth year over year. The company’s future cleanrooms will empower the company to continue its longstanding vision of custom solutions, top-quality products and innovative engineering expertise.
