Command Medical Products, a medical device contract manufacturer, today announced the acquisition of Injection Moulding & Tooling Services S.A. (IMATS), a Costa Rica-based provider of injection molding and tooling services.
The acquisition extends Command's capabilities across the medical device manufacturing value chain and establishes a third manufacturing site for the company in the medical device hub of Costa Rica.
By adding IMATS' expertise in injection molding and tooling, Command now offers a fully integrated suite of services spanning component production through finished device assembly, including tooling design and fabrication, injection molding, tube extrusion, RF welding, clean room assembly, and packaging. The expanded capabilities position Command to support customers more comprehensively in developing and manufacturing its medical device products.
"We are excited to welcome IMATS to the Command family," said Command Medical Products CEO Mike Fillion. "IMATS adds important injection molding and tooling capabilities that complement Command's existing extrusion, welding, and assembly operations. The combination expands the manufacturing solutions we can provide customers and enhances our ability to serve as a single-source partner across a broader range of projects."
IMATS operates from a 32,000-square-foot facility in the Free Trade Zone in Cartago, Costa Rica. The company provides injection molding, pad printing, assembly, and packaging as well as comprehensive injection mold tooling design, manufacturing, and validation services. The facility has significant available capacity, with the ability to more than double its current production volumes.
