France's Medical Mold Manufacturer JBT Group Acquires D&M Plastics

French medical mold manufacturer Groupe JBT has acquired D&M Plastics, an injection molding company based in Burlington, Illinois, which primarily serves the healthcare sector. This acquisition, announced by Groupe JBT earlier this month, will enable the company to provide reliable localized services to its North American customer base, particularly in meeting ISO Class 7 cleanroom production requirements.

D&M Plastics will now operate under the name JBT USA.

Headquartered in Morangis, France, the family-owned company JBT specializes in the design and manufacturing of precision injection-molded components for the healthcare sector. With facilities in France, Hungary, Mexico, Tunisia, and now the United States, the company has established an integrated value chain covering everything from mold making to final assembly.

D&M Plastics was established in 1972, equipped with more than 30 injection molding machines and an ISO Class 8 cleanroom. In addition to the medical technology field, the company also serves the electronics, automotive, and defense industries.

JBT Group stated on LinkedIn that with its business presence in the United States, the group currently has seven class 7 and class 8 cleanrooms globally, further consolidating its position as a trusted global partner for pharmaceutical laboratories and contract design and manufacturing organizations.
