HPMS is a leading contract manufacturer for medical devices and a strategic supplier of catheter tubing and high-performance cable, cable assemblies and finished medical devices.

Whether it is small implantable devices or large components for national defense, HPMS is excited to be able to offer such a comprehensive portfolio of products and services.

Kevin Prue, General Manager of the Hi-Tech Machine and Fabrication Product Line within HPMS comments, "This recent expansion is extremely exciting because it reinforces Hitachi's strong commitment to the specialized needs of our customers. The addition of screw machining allows us to manufacture small, tight-tolerance parts out of a variety of materials, including brass, stainless steel, nickel-based alloys, titanium, and plastics. I am confident that this investment will help our business grow both locally and globally. The medical device opportunities for custom screws, gears for cardiac devices, intricate components for surgical instruments and titanium implants can now all be addressed with confidence and the Hitachi commitment to quality."
