Buffalo, New York–based Nissha Medical Technologies (a subsidiary of Kyoto, Japan-based Nissha Co.) is a contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) focused on minimally invasive surgical instruments and wearable devices.
Under terms announced in December, Nissha planned to take a majority stake in Isometric Intermediate LLC., which owns the Isometric group of companies. Other financial terms have not been disclosed.
“We’re excited to add another vertically integrated capability as a global CDMO supporting miniaturization of devices and components,” Nissha Medical Technologies said in a post on LinkedIn. “Adding to our existing capabilities of machining and molding, we continue to focus on visualization and navigation technologies, addressing a growing need in the minimally invasive surgical field.”
Isometric Micro Molding said in a LinkedIn post of its own that by “being part of a global CDMO that provides design, development, and manufacturing of minimally invasive medical devices, Isometric is addressing a growing need for visualization and navigation technologies. Isometric will be a platform for growth under Nissha Medical Technologies. Building on our significant micro-focused service offerings and our newly combined capabilities, we will continue to create and advance miniaturization solutions on a global scale.”
Isometric Micro Molding CEO Donna Bibber and President Wayne Shakal purchased the medtech supplier in 2021. New Richmond, Wisconsin–based Isometric is an ISO 13485 certified micro-molding service provider with “ultra-precise capabilities with microscopic polymer components and sub-assemblies” for sensors, transdermal patches, life science disposables, sheaths, anchors, capillaries, robotic surgery systems and neurovascular implants.
Before the deal closed, Bibber and Isometric VP of Business Development and Strategy Brent Hahn discussed what the change means for customers in an interview with Medical Design & Outsourcing. That interview also included comments from Nissha Medical Technologies Chief Integration Officer and Chief Supply Chain Officer Jon Casey and Nissha Medical Technologies EVP Brandon Hoffman.
After the deal closed, Hahn said he had been promoted to VP and GM at Isometric.
“This marks a significant milestone in my career, and I look forward to leading Isometric towards even greater success,” he said on LinkedIn.
