FORT WORTH, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--CoorsTek Medical, the CoorsTek-affiliated company dedicated to making lives measurably better, today announced that it had acquired medical device manufacturer Nanosurfaces Industries Srl. (NSI) of Bologna, Italy. NSI was the manufacturing division of SAMO s.pa, one of Europe’s longest-standing orthopedic original equipment manufacturers (OEMs). As part of the agreement, CoorsTek Medical will add the newly restructured SAMO and SAMO Italia to the extensive roster of medical device OEMs it manufactures for.

The facility brings CoorsTek Medical a complete manufacturing operation for orthopedic and dental implants and related instruments. Additional synergies with CoorsTek Medical will include the expansion of CoorsTek Medical’s manufacturing competencies through Bologna’s exceptional surface modification technology capabilities such as type I and II anodization.
