The scope of the transaction comprises all the service activities focused on metal surface finishing for the medical market and includes the ISO-13485 certified facility in Warsaw, according to a news release from Danco Medical.
Established in the U.S. in 1971 in California and 2001 in Indiana, Danco Medical offers complete, one-stop-shop surface preparation and finishing solutions and a wide range of product identification methods to medical orthopedic device companies, the release states. It is also the leader in aluminum and titanium anodizing and offers services comprising ChemFilm, Electropolishing, Passivation Processes and Low Friction Chrome coating. Latest innovative developments include unique deep image graphics for cases and trays and HAnano Surface Treatments.
Lincotek Medical is a leader in offering orthopedic device companies fully integrated supply chain solutions, including device engineering; casting; forging; additive manufacturing; precision machining; plasma spray, calcium phosphate and physical vapor deposition coatings; as well as electrochemical treatments and final packaging, according to the release.
The move will expand the already comprehensive set of capabilities of Lincotek in the medical field, increasing the company’s manufacturing footprint by one plant (around 35,000 square feet and 150 employees) – giving the company an even more competitive edge in a wide range of projects.
Lincotek Medical and Danco Medical will form a strong and synergistic partnership to offer OEMs a unique combination of services, addressing any needs of orthopedic customers around technical depth and process mastery, offering the highest levels of quality and reliability, optimized lead times and best-in-class customer service, the release states The agreement will increase Lincotek’s presence in the U.S., providing customers an even more integrated and unique approach and allowing OEMs to stay focused on their core business.

We believe that this will generate a unique platform for the industry, which is addressing major needs around supply chain simplification and lead-time reductions.
