Medical device companies Arrotek Medical Ltd. and NeedleTech are merging under the Arrotek brand. The strengthened, combined company offers extended and enhanced medical device design and manufacturing services to medtech organizations worldwide, particularly in the United States and European Union.
Both Arrotek and NeedleTech have served a broad range of customers that include OEMs, medical device startups, and corporations. The medical device products and components they design, develop, and manufacture have been used by healthcare professionals globally. The Arrotek and NeedleTech brands are part of the Theragenics group of companies.
“I am delighted to announce the merger of our two current brands, Arrotek and NeedleTech. This merger will enhance our current offering, extending the services we provide," Theragenics OEM Group Director Mark Pugh said. "We are also investing in our shared engineering departments to put the structures in place to take our business forward. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our current customers for their continued support. As a combined team, we are looking forward to enhancing the services we offer and strengthening our partnerships together.”
The new combined company will build on the current foundations of quality, flexibility, and innovation while merging the skills, capabilities, and knowledge across both business units. Arrotek designs, develops, and manufactures interventional and diagnostic catheters. NeedleTech designs and manufactures specialty medical needles, cannulas, and stylets.
The new venture will comprise two centers of excellence, with the operation in Massachusetts focusing on metal components and the Irish facility concentrating on plastics.
“It’s an exciting time for this new venture, especially given the strengths of our teams across both facilities in the U.S. and EU," Pugh stated. '“This is also an exciting time for the medical device industry and wider healthcare sector as advances in technologies and therapeutics open the door to new and cutting-edge treatments. Patient outcomes are being transformed by these new and innovative treatments, and this is only going to accelerate. Every member of our team, whether located in our U.S. facility in Massachusetts or our EU facility in Ireland, is dedicated to remaining at the forefront of minimally invasive medical device development where we can continue driving innovation in healthcare.”
