Forging Ahead into New Frontiers

After years of making its mark in the Food & Beverage and Electrical & Electronics sectors, Jebsen & Jessen Packaging is now stepping confidently into the world of pharmaceuticals, a long-awaited milestone in their diversification journey.

Their foray into the sector did not happen overnight. It began back in 2020, when the team first approached a prospective pharmaceutical partner to pitch a custom-designed jerrycan. After three years of persistence, they were finally awarded the project of a 5L jerrycan.

From there, momentum grew steadily. A qualification sample was submitted in April last year and received R&D approval in August, and mass production commenced in September. Thanks to their impressive work and reliable technical support, Jebsen & Jessen Packaging was officially appointed as the strategic supplier for the new projects, 3.9L and 7.8L jerrycan.

Currently, the team is developing the production mold, sampling this March. Once stability and biocompatibility tests are cleared, commercial production could begin as early as next year.

What makes this project even more meaningful is its purpose: the jerrycans will be used in kidney dialysis machines in hospitals across Malaysia — a small package, with life-saving solutions.
