Medacta recently celebrated the grand opening of its expanded distribution facility located in Memphis, Tenn. The facility became operational on March 6.
“Our presence in the United States continues to grow. This new facility, along with two recent major plant expansions at our Swiss Headquarters, represents a positive step forward in our commitment to providing reliable service to our customers so they can serve their patients safely and effectively,” Francesco Siccardi, CEO of Medacta International told the press. “Moreover, we strategically invested in strengthening our supply chain by increasing surgical instrument sets and implant stock to serve new customers, pre-empt possible shortages, capture market opportunities, and sustainably support our continuing growth.”
Medacta Americas Operations (MAO) will now occupy more than 108,000 square feet in the newly constructed facility, which will support operations and distribution from a central location. The larger footprint allows for higher stocking levels and on-hand inventory.
The new facility will also feature offices, meeting spaces, and a demonstration room to accommodate tours and training. It also works in concert with the Nashville, Tenn. Medacta USA (MUSA) headquarters by offering cutting-edge devices to surgeons throughout the U.S.
“Medacta America Operations represents a strong step forward for Medacta as we grow our presence throughout the United States,” said Shawn McIntyre, GM of MAO. “We are incredibly proud that we navigated this transition with no service interruptions to the field, and we look forward to the opportunities ahead.”
MUSA quickly outgrew its Camarillo, Calif. distribution center after its first FDA product clearance and U.S. surgical case in 2008, causing a relocation of headquarters and distribution to a 7,500 square foot facility in Chicago. In 2015, MUSA moved to its former Memphis facility with a footprint of 22,500 feet.
In March 2023, Medacta also published a new retrospective landmark study for its MySpine system of personalized 3D interactive preoperative planning and patient-matched 3D printed screw placement guides, which are applied to spine revision cases.
