SINGAPORE – Forefront Medical Technology recently acquired 20 percent of Arrow Medical Limited, a British medical contract manufacturer specializing in textiles, RF welding, silicon injection moulding and cleanroom assembly.
“We feel the transaction benefits our customer base in several ways. First, Arrow’s textile and RF welding capabilities broaden the portfolio of vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities we can provide. Second, we feel adding a UK manufacturing footprint enhances the support we can offer our European customer base. And finally, we see this as a good next step in more broadly supporting the manufacturing regionalization strategies of our global customer base,” said Walter Tarca, Forefront Medical Technology’s president.
“From Arrow Medical’s perspective, there are significant synergies in aligning with Forefront Medical Technology. Forefront’s strong frontend engineering capabilities combined with its breadth of manufacturing capabilities enable us to provide our customers with a much broader set of manufacturing and support options. Our companies are both customer-centric and focus on superior quality and optimizing production processes, ensuring a common culture and approach in the solutions we provide,” said Jolene Atkinson, Arrow Medical Limited’s managing director.
