Orchid Breaks Ground on India Facility

Orchid Orthopedic Solutions has begun work on a new manufacturing site in Pune, India. This site is planned to provide expertise in machining and precision engineering. Orchid India currently offers orthopedic, trauma and spine components machining and is expanding to include all the machining capabilities required to support customers in the fields of orthopedic, spinal and dental as well.

Orchid officials note that locating a facility in India will provide opportunities for Orchid customers in a region that is quickly expanding and demanding world-class products.

The new manufacturing site will be 28,400 square feet and is intended to service the Asian market as well as global customers looking for additional manufacturing options. The legal name for the new entity is Orchid India Medisolutions Private Ltd.

The India ground breaking ceremony occurred on May 20, 2014. Jorge M. Ramos, chief administrative officer and Joe Zuzula, vice president of sales and marketing were there to participate in the ceremony along with employees and local dignitaries.

“We are very proud of all the work our Asia team performed to make this dream a reality. Our customers are just as excited as we are to move into a new facility,” said Jorge M. Ramos, chief administrative officer for Orchid.

Orchid is on a fast-track lane for growth. It just opened a $1 million manufacturing facility in Jackson, Tenn. in April. The new facility is an expansion of the company’s Arab, Ala. facility. It is using the Jackson facility to machine instruments, while finishing, assembly and inspection will be done at its facility in Alabama.
