Orchid Orthopedic Solutions (Orchid) has announced they intend to invest into the Chinese orthopedic market by offering vacuum titanium plasma spray (VPS) coating services at its Suzhou, China facility in 2016. This expansion of capabilities supports Orchid's strategy to provide full value stream services to the local market in Asia and compliments their current hydroxylapatite (HA) coating services.
The board of directors at Orchid approved the investment at the last board meeting in February.
"We are excited to be able to provide VPS services to our local customers in China and beyond. Orchid has a reputation for good quality coatings throughout the world and we will continue this standard at our Suzhou facility," said Christopher Norbye, international executive vice president for Orchid outside the US. "This endeavor supports our goal of building full value stream services on three continents. We anticipate adding more capabilities in the future depending on the needs of the local market."
The VPS services are expected to be in full service before the end of 2016.
