Vesta expands silicone manufacturing services by acquiring SiMatrix

Vesta, a an ISO 13485 certified medical device contract manufacturer, has acquired SiMatrix, also a contract manufacturer, but with a specialty in tight-tolerance, medical-grade silicone sheeting and dip molding services. The acquisition expands Vesta’s existing breadth of silicone manufacturing services, which include medical molding, extrusion, and assembly. The terms of the agreement were not disclosed. Vesta will continue to provide silicone sheeting and dip molding services from SiMatrix’s current manufacturing locations in Montana, and will provide global support for the business through Vesta’s existing direct sales organization. This acquisition follows the March 2009 acquisition of ExtruMed, an independent manufacturer of precision thermoplastic tubing for diagnostic and therapeutic medical devices and procedures.
