Prent

Project Overview

Prent, a global leader in custom thermoform packaging for the medical, electronics, and consumer industries, is expanding its U.S. manufacturing footprint with a new facility in Santa Teresa, New Mexico. The project represents a $12.5 million investment and is expected to create 85 new jobs.

With more than 50 years of experience and a reputation for precision manufacturing, Prent specializes in designing “just-right” packaging solutions that protect sensitive products while optimizing performance and cost. The company’s vertically integrated capabilities across design, extrusion, and manufacturing enable efficient production and consistent quality across global operations.

The Santa Teresa location positions Prent within the Borderplex region, providing strategic access to U.S. and international markets, key logistics corridors, and cross-border manufacturing networks.

Core Capabilities

Prent’s New Mexico operations support advanced thermoforming and packaging solutions, including:

• Custom rigid packaging for medical devices and diagnostics

• Thermoform solutions for electronics and high-value components

• High-precision design utilizing virtual modeling and rapid prototyping

• In-house extrusion and manufacturing for quality control and efficiency

• ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 certified production environments

These capabilities allow Prent to deliver highly engineered packaging solutions that meet strict regulatory and performance standards.

Operational Impact & Growth

The Santa Teresa facility is designed as a greenfield manufacturing site with certified cleanroom capabilities, supporting the production of medical-grade packaging at scale. The investment strengthens Prent’s North American operations while enhancing its ability to serve customers in regulated and high-performance industries.

New Mexico’s location, workforce availability, and economic incentives contributed to the company’s decision to expand in the region. The project also benefits from the collaborative environment of the Borderplex, where cross-border logistics, manufacturing integration, and regional partnerships support long-term operational success.

Prent’s expansion reflects continued growth in demand for medical and specialty packaging and reinforces New Mexico’s position as a competitive location for advanced manufacturing.
