ARCH Medical Solutions has acquired Nicholas Precision Works (NPW) of North Manchester, Indiana. As a contract manufacturing company specializing in precision grinding, NPW provides surgical cutting tools and precision ground instruments to the medical industry.
In conjunction with the acquisition, NPW and the existing ARCH precision grinding capabilities at its OrthoGrind manufacturing facility in Fort Wayne, Indiana, will form the new ARCH Medical Grinding business unit.
Tony Nicholas, NPW owner since 2014 and founder of the former NG Instruments, will stay in North Manchester as President of ARCH Medical Grinding.
Paul Barck, Divisional President of ARCH Medical Solutions, said, “NPW has invested in first-class equipment, processes, facilities and team members, demonstrating a commitment to create and operate a world-class medical grinding operation. Tony and the team at NPW have earned a stellar reputation among leading OEMs for having the engineering and manufacturing process know-how required to bring new products to market—fast. ARCH has provided its customers ground and fluted instruments since inception, although through this acquisition and the newly formed ARCH Medical Grinding entity, we are now positioned to have the fully integrated capabilities and scale that will offer our customers industry-leading quality and lead times for their new and innovative product needs.”
John Ruggieri, Senior Vice President of Business Development at ARCH Medical Solutions, said, “The capabilities developed at NPW are exactly the type of innovations our customers are continually seeking. NPW strengthens our ability to provide progressive and innovative customer support. Having NPW as a part of ARCH will provide our customers with the highest-quality cutting instruments for the orthopedic and medical device markets and allow them to explore cost-efficient manufacturing solutions with accelerated lead times.”
ARCH Medical Solutions has concluded numerous acquisitions since 2016, with Alpha Manufacturing & Design as the most recent.
