Biomerics, a Salt Lake City-based contract manufacturer for the interventional medical device market, has acquired Northeast Laser and Electropolish (NLE) of Monroe, Connecticut. NLE provides contract manufacturing, laser processing, machining and metal finishing services to a wide range of medical device manufacturers across the U.S. The deal will create a metals division of Biomerics that the company will call Biomerics NLE.
NLE has over 25 years of experience in the medical device industry. Its founders, Rich Rosselli and Kurt England, started with one laser marking system that has grown into a full-service provider of laser processed assemblies.
“It is that commitment to customer service and our employees that have been at the core of this company,” said Rosselli. “We will stay focused on bringing that high level of service and employee commitment into this partnership. We are excited about what the future holds and are confident the partnership will advance our growth strategy while providing additional services for our customers.”
Biomerics will merge its Advanced Laser processing operations located in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota into the newly formed Biomerics NLE division with plans to expand the division’s services and capabilities. “Biomerics NLE will be the ‘Center of Excellence’ for Biomerics metals operations,” said Dave Liebl, president of Biomeric’s Advanced Laser. “The addition of NLE capabilities to the Biomerics group fills an unmet need for our customers. We are committed to growing this division geographically as well as adding additional metal processing capabilities, including CNC machining, Swiss machining, grinding, wire processing and secondary metal finishing.”
“This merger is the next step in our vision to become a vertically integrated leader in the attractive minimally invasive interventional and surgical medical device market,” said Biomeric’s CEO, Travis Sessions. “We welcome NLE employees to the Biomerics family and look forward to the new capabilities we can offer customers.”
Biomerics offers a complete line of manufacturing capabilities, including materials, extrusion, injection molding, balloon manufacturing, braiding, metal processing and device assembly at its locations in Utah, Minnesota, Texas, Indiana, Connecticut and Puerto Rico. The company has more than 1,200 employees. The company is a mid-market medical device manufacturer specializing in the design, development and production of medical devices for interventional procedures in the cardiovascular, structural heart, cardiac rhythm management, electrophysiology, neurovascular, vascular access and gastrointestinal/urology markets.
