PrinterPrezz Acquires Vertex Manufacturing

PrinterPrezz and Vertex Manufacturing have merged. PrinterPrezz’s Silicon Valley headquarters will continue to primarily focus on medical devices, leveraging in-house regulatory experience, clinician-driven design, additive manufacturing expertise and in-house nanotechnology development. The Fremont, California design, engineering and manufacturing center will continue to maintain all requirements for medical device manufacturing including ISO 13485:2016 and all relevant regulatory requirements.

Vertex Manufacturing will continue to support all advanced manufacturing industries, including medical. The Cincinnati, Ohio engineering and manufacturing center will maintain all of its current certifications including ISO 13485:2016 and SAE AS9100:2016. The Cincinnati facility remains and will continue to be fully ITAR compliant and registered.

Vertex Manufacturing will also retain its name and current management team.

“Bringing together the complementary strengths of two innovative companies in the advanced manufacturing space is a transformative event that will allow customers across multiple industries to benefit from best-in-class proprietary technologies, IP, and workflows.” stated Shri Shetty, CEO of PrinterPrezz. “Solving the problem of the fragmented nature of the additive manufacturing supply chain, we created an end-to-end platform to optimize the process from device innovation through volume manufacturing. This acquisition provides PrinterPrezz with core fundamental post-processing technologies relevant to accelerate time to market for medical devices.”

Greg Morris, CEO of Vertex Manufacturing and PrinterPrezz CTO added, “I have been a part of the PrinterPrezz organization since its earliest phases, originally as a member of the Board of Advisors and more recently as Chief Technology Officer. The opportunity to bring Vertex into the PrinterPrezz organization is an incredible opportunity for both companies’ customers.” Morris added, “We believe the cross-pollination of various industries is a tremendous strength. As such, our Cincinnati, Ohio facility will rapidly grow to support the installation of new additive manufacturing and post-processing tools to support all of our existing customers as well as to support the increasing demand from the medical industry.”
