Intricon and Minnetronix Medical, two contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) serving the medtech industry, have combined to form Forj Medical.

The new Forj Medical provides end-to-end capabilities from concept through commercial scale—in system design, microelectronics, precision molding, and advanced manufacturing. The company’s integrated CDMO service helps medical device OEMs develop and scale complex technologies.

The company is headquartered in Arden Hills, Minnesota. It operates in six facilities in the U.S., Indonesia, Singapore, and Costa Rica. The company’s global footprint, technology expertise, and broad capabilities help it serve market segments including diabetes, advanced optics, surgical energy, vascular disease, drug delivery and surgical navigation.

Mauricio Arellano, an exec with over three decades of experience in the medical device supply chain, was named executive chair of Forj Medical. Jeremy Maniak, formerly CEO of Minnetronix, was appointed as the CEO of the combined business.

“Two leaders in medical device innovation have come together to create something extraordinary for customers,” said Arellano. “With a shared commitment to quality and innovation, Forj Medical is well positioned to support our customers and accelerate breakthroughs in patient care.”

The company’s expanded footprint is in Minnesota’s “Medical Alley,” which complements its global operations and helps it to deliver design and manufacturing solutions for customers at scale.

“Forj Medical is uniquely equipped to meet the evolving needs of medical device OEMs,” said Maniak. “By combining deep expertise in system and component design, microelectronics, precision molding, and automation, we’re enabling our customers to bring life-changing technologies to market faster and more efficiently.”
