French medical device and pharmaceutical packaging manufacturer SGH Medical Pharma has inaugurated a manufacturing facility in Mégrine, near Tunis, Tunisia, expanding its production presence beyond France.
The 3,000-square-metre plant specialises in high-precision plastic medical devices, consumables and pharmaceutical packaging components. It incorporates cleanrooms and controlled manufacturing environments designed to meet the quality requirements of medical device production.
The facility forms part of the group’s international expansion strategy, aimed at strengthening its manufacturing capacity and serving customers across North Africa, the wider African market and the Middle East.
The project was initially announced in April 2024, with a planned investment of €1 million. At that stage, SGH Medical Pharma outlined plans for 300 square metres of cleanroom space and the recruitment of 60 qualified employees. According to information attributed to France’s Directorate-General of the Treasury, the facility now employs approximately 100 people. The final investment amount has not been disclosed.
The Tunisian operation also enables SGH Medical Pharma to bring previously subcontracted activities in-house, including assembly, conditioning, marking and packaging. The company had already established relationships with local subcontractors before developing its own manufacturing presence in Tunisia.
Headquartered in Saint-Marcellin, France, SGH Medical Pharma designs and manufactures plastic medical devices, diagnostic components and pharmaceutical packaging products. The group has more than four decades of experience in plastics processing.
The new facility complements the company’s existing manufacturing operations in France and supports its regional supply capabilities.
The expansion also establishes additional manufacturing capacity in Tunisia for healthcare-related plastic products, including components used in pharmaceutical and medical applications, while supporting the group’s efforts to serve international customers through a broader production network.
