ARCH Medical Solutions acquired Amplify Additive, an additive manufacturing company that develops and manufactures titanium implants. Amplify now becomes ARCH Additive – Portland under the ARCH Medical Solutions umbrella, expanding the reach of ARCH into additive manufacturing for orthopedics.
The move increases the ARCH Medical footprint that has been bolstered by numerous acquisitions over recent years, including Tier ONE, Titan Medical Manufacturing, Wilsey Tool, LISI Medical Jeropa and more.
“This is an important milestone in the growth and evolution of our Medical Solutions segment,” said Paul Barck, Divisional President of ARCH Medical Solutions. “Brian [McLaughlin] is an industry veteran within orthopedics bringing deep product design and additive manufacturing process knowledge to ARCH. With the Amplify Additive team and multiple additive technology platforms, we broaden our manufacturing capabilities to offer product development services, customized and patient-specific devices, and full-scale production of 3D-printed products to our existing and new customers.”
Brian McLaughlin, CEO and founder of Amplify Additive, sees the move as the start of a new chapter for the company he founded in 2018.
“We are taking our operations to a new level,” he says. “Partnering with ARCH Medical Solutions gives us access to a wider range of resources and capital to support our team and our commitment to manufacturing life-changing devices and implants for the orthopedic market. ARCH shares our vision to transform the future of the healthcare industry and amplify the benefits patients receive—that’s of great importance to us.”
Eli Crotzer, President and Chief Executive Officer at ARCH, says the acquisition is another piece of the company’s strategic growth plan.
“Acquisitions like this one fulfill our promise to offer medical OEMs innovative solutions that add value to their products and provide better patient outcomes,” Mr. Crotzer said. “The way the Amplify team combines clinical knowledge with engineering design and additive manufacturing is quite unique. This acquisition diversifies our solutions for orthopedic customers and expands the already impressive reach of ARCH Medical Solutions.”
