The newly acquired 50,000 square foot facility is adjacent to Oliver-Tolasā current Feasterville, PA operation at Pennsylvania Boulevard. āWe have been deliberating expansion options for our Feasterville, PA operation and are excited to have overcome space limitationsā said Jerry Bennish, President and CEO. āUtilization of the additional warehouse space has begun and plans are underway to construct an ISO 7 and an ISO 8 cleanroom totaling 5,000 square feet.ā Oliver-Tolasā Feasterville, PA operation manufactures pouches, roll stock, lids and zone-coated lids.
