New name underscores the company’s deep technical expertise and engineering-driven approach to plastics manufacturing.
June 26, 2025
By: Michael Barbella
ThermoFab has changed its name.
The provider of heavy gauge plastic enclosures and single-use components for medical device and other highly regulated industries now operates under the moniker Innova Engineered Plastics. The new identity reflects the company’s innovation, expanded capabilities, and focused vision as a full-service enclosure provider for companies of all sizes.
The “Innova” part of the new name comes from the word “innovation” and reflects a value that drives the company’s approach to design, engineer, and manufacture advanced enclosures. Paired with “Engineered Plastics,” it underscores the company’s deep technical expertise and engineering-driven approach to plastics manufacturing: to deliver high-quality plastic enclosure and related consumable solutions with precision, speed, and reliability.
The rebrand marks Innova’s evolution into a comprehensive plastics manufacturing partner with low-to-high volume production capabilities across multiple locations—an innovation and design center in Shirley, Mass., and a high-capacity production facility in Mexicali, Mexico. Innova offers various services all under one roof, including thermoforming, injection molding, reaction injection molding (RIM), cast urethane, rapid prototyping, finishing and assembly services, and mold tool transfers.
“We’ve grown significantly in our capabilities, capacity, and customer base,” Innova Engineered Plastics CEO Mark Rauenzahn said. “Our new name better represents who we are today and where we’re headed—an innovation-driven partner delivering end-to-end plastic enclosure solutions for highly regulated industries.”
Formerly ThermoFab, Innova Engineered Plastics provides engineered heavy gauge plastic enclosures and related single use components for medical device, life sciences, aerospace and defense, test and measurement instrumentation, and other critical highly regulated industries. Applications include surgical robotics, organ transport devices, genetic sequencing devices, people scanning technologies, autonomous robots, information technology solutions, and more. With experience in managing large, multi-part projects, the company’s capabilities encompass the entire production lifecycle, from design and initial prototyping to full-scale production and assembly.
