ARCH Medical Solutions acquires M&K Engineering

In a move that strengthens the reach of its precision medical manufacturing capabilities, ARCH Medical Solutions Corp. has acquired M&K Engineering  of Woburn, Massachusetts. Located just outside Boston, M&K has more than three decades of precision manufacturing experience serving the medical, aerospace, and defense industries. FDA- and ITAR-registered with an impressive equipment list featuring multiple Swiss machines and robotic automation, M&K is a valuable addition providing vertically integrated support backed by a knowledgeable team. M&K Engineering becomes ARCH Medical & Aerospace – Woburn under the ARCH Medical Solutions umbrella.

Paul Barck, divisional president of ARCH Medical Solutions, is pleased with the opportunity to welcome M&K Engineering to ARCH Medical Solutions.

“The long heritage in precision machining of highly engineered medical devices and mission-critical components for the aerospace and defense industry combined with state-of the art machine tools, manufacturing processes and facilities bring new capabilities to our medical device manufacturing offering,” Barck said. “Through multiple visits to the M&K facility, I have been impressed with the team members and their creativity in developing highly efficient and automated manufacturing processes for machined components and other complex medical devices.”

Keith Bernardo, president of M&K Engineering, sees the move as a paramount step in achieving its goal of becoming a World Class Manufacturing Organization.

“The synergies between both companies are undeniable,” he said. “I could not be happier to have found a partner that embodies such a deep-rooted passion for its culture and team members. Finding ARCH made a difficult decision easy. I cannot express enough gratitude to Eli and his team. Partnering with ARCH Medical Solutions gives us access to a wide range of resources unmatched in our company’s history. We have achieved so much on our own and are looking forward to what we will be able to achieve within the ARCH network of capable facilities.”       

Eli Crotzer, president and chief executive officer at ARCH, says the acquisition is a great fit for the accelerated growth plans of ARCH Medical Solutions.
