Cirtec Medical Acquires QMD™ Precision Components Business


Cirtec Medical Corporation, a strategic outsourcing partner of complex medical devices including minimally invasive and active implantable devices, has acquired QMD’s Precision Components business which specializes in the development and manufacturing of silicone, polyisoprene and other custom elastomeric components, tubing, and subassemblies.

“This acquisition is a natural fit for us and will open new doors for customers through advanced expertise in medical silicone molding and extrusion,” stated Brian Highley, Cirtec CEO. “From materials science and mold development through manufacturing and assembly, QMD Precision Components will enable Cirtec to provide customers with new and powerful capabilities as a full-service outsource partner.”

“The acquisition will also strengthen Cirtec’s platform for growth in existing markets such as active implantables, interventional, and minimally invasive surgical devices,” said Highley.

Precision Components will integrate within the Cirtec brand, offering comprehensive, integrated solutions based on decades of silicone experience. The business consists of Centers of Excellence in Sturtevant, Wisconsin and Rock Hill, South Carolina. Engineering and manufacturing capabilities will remain at the facilities, along with current leadership.
