World-Class Machine Shop Broadens and Deepens Capabilities in Spine and Digital Surgery
DEERFIELD, Ill., May 06, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Surgalign Spine Technologies, (NASDAQ: SRGA) a global medical technology company focused on elevating the standard of care through the evolution of digital surgery, today announced it has acquired the assets of a fully capable medical device machine shop as a complement to its Spine Innovation Center operations in greater San Diego. The current staff of the facility will join Surgalign as employees. This acquisition gives the company the ability to directly align its research and development operations with a state-of-the-art prototyping and manufacturing capability to accelerate and broaden new product development.
“We strongly believe this acquisition will lead to shortened development times and superior products to better serve our customers,” said Terry Rich, Surgalign’s president and chief executive officer. “Being able to prototype new devices in-house gives us better control of quality and should certainly strengthen our product development engine, including our efforts to advance the promise of digital surgery and all it could bring to spine care. Adding this capability is another example of the significant investment we are making to build a world-class digital surgery operation in San Diego.”
The synergies from the acquisition will be recognized immediately between both teams, accelerating Surgalign’s New Product Introduction Process, and further solidifying the company’s commitment to bringing customers solutions that deliver superior clinical and economic outcomes.
