Marle Group has acquired Tennessee-based Elite Medical, a world class vertically integrated contract manufacturer with three ISO 13485 facilities; two in the Memphis, TN area and one in Florence, AL.
Marle Group now has eleven production facilities globally that are exclusively focused on orthopedic, trauma and spine implant and instrument manufacturing for OEMs worldwide.
Elite Medical, now known as Marle Elite, is proud of its brand and service reputation on delivering high-quality orthopedic implants and precision instruments to OEM clients around the world at exceptional value. Elite is honored to be a critical part of the supply chain from design, prototyping to finished medical product and scalable in-house volume production.
The acquisition of Marle Elite expands Marle Group’s contract manufacturing offering with the addition of another world class medical device manufacturing company located in America that creates a total end-to-end solution. Marle now has four U.S. facilities and 200 American employees to support its U.S. customers and their continued growth. This solution supports Marle Group’s current research and innovation, product development, prototyping, various manufacturing platforms (additive, forging, casting, or subtractive machining), inspection and quality, complete packaging, and delivery of complex finished product.
Antonio Gil, president, Marle Group commented, “I am extremely excited and proud about this next strategic acquisition in the USA that underscores our commitment and focus on our Marle America’s customers. This is another very significant cornerstone in Marle Group’s strategy of enlarging its base in medical device contract manufacturing and adding capabilities in the USA together with Tim and Bryan and the skilled Elite Medical team.”
Tim Hanson, CEO and Bryan Dowdy, president and founder, Elite Medical, added, “Teaming with the Marle Group is a great opportunity to help Elite further undertake our goal of scaling our unique vertical manufacturing capabilities with a strong international presence. We are excited to partner our knowledge and skill set with the Marle Group's resources and manufacturing expertise to further add value to our clients.”
Moving forward, Marle Group will continue to make strategic acquisitions and partnerships to expand its value-added portfolio for its OEM customers.
