Tecomet and Orchid Orthopedic Solutions announced the closing of their planned merger, which will bring together two of the largest contract manufacturers in the orthopedic space. The combined companies will operate under the Tecomet name and be led by Andreas Weller, CEO of Tecomet, who will retain his title with the new organization.
“This is an exciting day. The industries we serve are evolving with greater complexity, higher expectations and increasing pressure to move faster,” Weller said. “This combination positions us to meet those demands with more capability, more flexibility and a stronger foundation for long-term growth. We are committed to building a company that reflects the strengths of Tecomet and Orchid.”
Both companies bring specialized expertise to the merger, particularly in the joint replacement space. Orchid has invested heavily in electron beam melting to expand its additive manufacturing offerings, and Tecomet is known for producing high-precision instruments and quality cases and trays.
The newly formed Tecomet will integrate the companies’ capabilities to support OEM customers throughout the product development lifecycle with precision machining, additive manufacturing, forging, casting and advanced finishing. The company will also have a more resilient supply chain and an expanded global manufacturing footprint — Tecomet operates 14 manufacturing locations across five countries, and Orchid runs 10 facilities in the U.S., U.K. and Switzerland.
Weller is focused on enhancing the individual strengths of both companies to grow Tecomet’s manufacturing capabilities, automation, capacity and design and technology services and to create a strong foundation for future growth.
“The merger is about more than scale. It is about building a platform that can meet the increasing complexity and demands of our customers with greater precision, reliability and speed,” Weller said. “We are bringing together capabilities that are highly complementary to create a more complete and resilient manufacturing partner.”
Weller emphasized the importance of maintaining strong relationships with current customers who are accustomed to working with Orchid and Tecomet as separate entities.
“Our focus remains on providing exceptional customer service by delivering quality products that improve lives,” he said. “Together, our teams are supported by even better capabilities, so we can deliver consistent results.”
In addition to Weller, several leaders from both companies have formed part of the new executive team: Jason Brasile, Chief Financial Officer; Mitch Moeller, Chief Commercial Officer; Scott Shankle, Chief Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs Officer; Mat Ackerman, Executive Vice President of Business Transformation; and Angie Rohrer, Chief Human Resources Officer.
There will be more developments in the months ahead as Tecomet sorts through combining teams and cultures and moving forward as a unified entity. Several of the company’s leaders will attend OMTEC® 2026 next month in Chicago, where they will be available to meet with OEM customers and discuss what’s next for the organization.
