VOORHEES, N.J., June 26, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Comar, announces the opening of its state-of-the-art Innovation Design Center ("ID Center") in Buena, NJ.  From Comar's beginnings in healthcare in 1949, the Company has benefited from its longstanding reputation for developing creative, industry-compliant packaging and dispensing solutions and has expanded into additional markets by providing innovative design solutions and quality driven manufacturing.

"The ever-changing consumer landscape and rapid pace of technological advancements has led to an increasingly competitive environment for customers," said Comar CEO, Mike Ruggieri.  "As a strategic partner, Comar not only has to provide superior quality and service, but we also have to collaborate with customers to understand market opportunities and challenges in order to provide them with creative package and supply chain solutions that allow them to increase sales, reduce cost, and increase productivity.  It sounds simple but each situation is different so we rely on our proven IDWORKS® process that we tailor based on the success criteria for each opportunity."

The ID Center was created with Comar's customers in mind.  It is outfitted with the latest design and simulation tools and technologies that allow customers to see concepts and touch and feel physical products manufactured on-site.  The layout includes conference rooms and work spaces designed to encourage collaboration while maintaining confidentiality.  The ID Center will house top-tier industrial designers and a full complement of material, process, infrastructure, and automation engineers with an average of 27 years of experience.  Comar's cross-functional teams of marketing, industrial design, engineering, and manufacturing and full complement of injection molding and blow molding manufacturing platforms can be leveraged to provide creative solutions under any circumstances.
