In the medical device sector, Cadence has worked with OEM partners to developing, manufacture and assemble cutting and piercing components and assemblies used in spine; trauma; joint repair, reconstruction and replacement; laparoscopy and arthroscopy; and sports medicine.
The company recently celebrated the grand opening of the new 34,000-square-foot expansion with a ribbon cutting ceremony on Thursday, Oct. 30. The new expansion adds to the existing 43,000-square-foot plant.
“This is a very exciting time for the Cadence Rhode Island team. The need for this facility expansion is the direct result of the talent, hard work, and commitment of our employees to making us a better company every day and our business is seeing the favorable results of their efforts,” said Brian Plummer, vice president of manufacturing at the Rhode Island facility.
The expansion creates space for new precision machining, laser processing, and automation equipment. The Rhode Island facility is currently staffed by 150 full-time employees and intends to continue adding jobs over the next several years, according to Cadence officials.
Cadence employs more than 475 people worldwide. In addition to Staunton and Cranston, the firm has facilities in Pittsburgh, Pa.; Sturgeon Bay, Wis.; Plymouth, Mass.; and the Dominican Republic.
