AsianScientist (Jul. 6, 2016) – Singapore-based Accuron Technologies Limited, a precision engineering and technology group, has acquired a majority stake in Malaysia-based medical devices manufacturer Aurum Healthcare Sdn Bhd (Aurum).
Aurum will be positioned under Advanced Materials Technologies (AMT), a Singapore-based contract manufacturer that specializes in metal injection molding and 3D metal printing for high precision and complex metal parts used in the medical device sector. For example, AMT manufactures the metal components found in endoscopes and robotic surgery instruments.
The addition of Aurum’s capabilities means that AMT will expand its original equipment manufacturer expertise to include manufacturing of plastic medical consumables, such as those used in heart bypass or angiography procedures.
The acquisition will increase AMT’s manufacturing footprint from its current 120,000 sq ft facility located in Tuas, Singapore and Dongguan City, China to include Aurum’s 20,000 sq ft facility at the Setia Business Park, in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Aurum’s facility provides sterilization services for medical devices and instruments, as well as clean room manufacturing and assembly services.
