Tangible Solutions — now operating as Marle Tangible — has fully established itself as a production-scale additive manufacturer.
Marle Group, a global medical device contract manufacturer, has acquired a majority stake in Ohio-based Tangible Solutions, to work alongside its founders who remain CEO and COO. Marle Group now has eight global production facilities which are exclusively focused on orthopedic and spine implant manufacturing for OEMs worldwide.
Tangible Solutions specializes in engineering, design and development, and production of 3D printed titanium implants for the orthopedic, spine and trauma markets. The Fairborn, Ohio, facility serves several dozen customers and produces more than 40 FDA-approved medical devices with another 20-plus in the works.
With more than 2 million implants manufactured annually, Marle Group says it is a strategic and reliable long-term partner to OEMs all over the world. It offers end-to-end manufacturing capabilities, including forging and casting, machining, polishing, coating and packaging services, which the company says enables it to offer complete solutions to its clients for orthopedic, spine and trauma implants.
The acquisition of Tangible Solutions expands Marle Group’s contract manufacturing abilities in the U.S., the company says. This transaction is also said to strengthen the company’s 3D AM expertise in research and innovation in combination with Marle 3D Medlab, as well as product development and prototyping, specifically for spine and extremities.
“Having Tangible Solutions onboard represents an exciting opportunity for Marle Group given the clear alignment of mission, goals and culture between our two innovative organizations,” says Frank D. Noone, vice president, Marle America. “This deal also enhances our ability to drive even greater strategic value to our customers and their patients.”
According to Tangible Solutions’ CEO Adam Clark and COO Chris Collins, this partnership will bring a significant amount of value to its customers, team members, families and community. Its mission is to be a premier international contract manufacturer of 3D printed titanium orthopedic implants. Tangible Solutions will now operate as Marle Tangible.
