“We are excited to have APC join the ARCH Medical Solutions group of companies, adding an important group of products that play a critical role in enabling affected patients to enjoy increased mobility and enhanced lifestyles,” said Paul Barck, Divisional President of ARCH Medical Solutions. “APC is a market leader with a reputation that is consistent with our strategic mission of providing world-class products and services to our customers while building a diverse platform of medical device manufacturing businesses.”
As part of the ARCH family, APC President and CEO Jeff Braun foresees growth and a more defined future for employees and customers.
“This is the appropriate time to partner with a larger company that can offer ongoing financial stability as well as additional resources and financing to support our continued growth,” said Braun, who will remain the company’s president. “For our employees and our customers alike, this is the right opportunity and timing for planning the future of American Prosthetic Components.”
Eli Crotzer, ARCH President and CEO, said, “The APC team has carved out an impressive niche of providing highly engineered componentry for prosthetics,” he said. “It was also evident to our ARCH team during our site visit to APC that the team has developed a real competence around efficient machining of exotic metals in support of the products that they supply to the marketplace.”
