Helix Medical and MedVenture Technology, which are owned by Germany-based Freudenberg Group, are changing names to better reflect their parent company’s marketing strategy.
The two companies now will be called Freudenberg Medical. The new brand, according to a press release from the company, “emphasizes the business group’s role as a global development and innovation partner to the medical device and pharmaceutical industries.”
Freudenberg Medical develops and manufactures specialty components and minimally invasive device solutions for medical device OEMs worldwide. Under the HelixMark and PharmaFocus brands, Freudenberg Medical offers silicone tubing and related products to the pharmaceutical industry. MedVenture Technology specializes in the development and manufacture of minimally invasive systems and catheters. Freudenberg Medical also develops and markets proprietary ear, nose and throat applications underthe InHealth Technologies brand. As part of the Freudenberg Group, Freudenberg Medical “has access to a unique network of research and development facilities and can support customers from material and design optimization to mass production of complete medical devices,” according to a release.
”Since we selected Helix Medical as our company name our enterprise has grown exponentially, both organically and through acquisitions, and we have significantly broadened our capabilities. Our new brand, Freudenberg Medical, underlines our commitment to be the preferred global development and innovation partner for medical device and pharmaceutical customers,” said Jorg Schneewind, president and CEO of Freudenberg Medical.
Freudenberg Medical also holds a 50 percent share of two joint venture companies—VistaMed, a manufacturer of catheters and catheter components, and Cambus Medical, a manufacturer of metal hypotubes for catheter systems.
Freudenberg Medical has ten production sites located in the United States, Costa Rica, Germany, Ireland and China, all equipped with certified clean rooms and registered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Freudenberg is a 166-year-old global technology company. In 2014, the Freudenberg Group employed over 40,000 people in 60 countries worldwide and generated sales of more than $8 billion.
