Sheffield Precision Medical expands production

19 April 2011

Orthopaedic device manufacturer Sheffield Precision Medical Ltd (SPML) has expanded production following record interest in its services.

The company provides made-to-order, specialist & bespoke orthopaedic instruments and disposable instruments.

The company recently travelled to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons conference to source new business, enhance connections with large US companies and expand their global portfolio.

The conference inspired SPML to invest in new machinery, including a ten-axis sliding head machine, a 5-axis machining centre, new dual line passivation, additional laser welding facility and specialist work holding devices.

Managing Director Brian Reece said: “It’s been very encouraging for us to be able to invest in new high-tech cutting edge machinery and to expand our existing product portfolio. We are constantly evolving, expanding and increasing our global reach.

“I am very pleased with the company progress which is not least of all due to the highly skilled and well motivated team of which I am proud to be a part. It is great to part of the resurgence in manufacturing and the experience such uplift against the backdrop of a difficult recessionary time.”

The company works with multi-national OEMs who provide implants and instrumentation to hospitals and health professionals worldwide. Formerly Finsbury Surgical Ltd, Sheffield Precision Medical is now independently owned.
