DimcoGray Forms DG Medical

DimcoGray (Centerville, OH) specializes in the manufacture of commercial and industrial knobs and handles, but now the company is extending its reach into the medical device manufacturing realm. With the launching of DG Medical (Centerville, OH), the company is increasing its ability to meet the contract thermoplastic molding needs of medical device OEMs. The new venture rests on DimcoGray's 86 years of molding experience and more than 30 years of expertise in the area of thermoplastic molding for the medical industry.

Recently, DG Medical received ISO 13485:2003 certification, confirming that the company implements the quality management systems, management principles, resources, production processes, and measurement techniques needed to meet customer and regulatory requirements applicable to medical devices and related services. The certification also confirms that DG Medical utilizes strict process validation and controls to provide traceability throughout the production process.

Along with its commitment to meeting medical industry standards requirements, DG Medical is dedicated to serving medical OEMs through ongoing capital investments in state-of-the-art equipment and cleanroom environments, several of which the company says it will complete later this summer. "We are committed to making significant capital investments that will quickly expand our product and service offerings to the medical industry," says Mike Sieron, president and CEO of DG Medical.

In addition to thermoplastic molding, the new company offers OEMs a variety of other capabilities, including thermoset molding, ultrasonic and resistance welding, insert molding, overmolding, assembly, bar coding, and prototyping services.
