Adds leading supplier in Israel for laser cutting, nitinol processing and cleanroom assembly
Resonetics announced today that it has acquired STI Laser Industries, Ltd., based in Or Akiva, Israel, a leading supplier of laser processing, nitinol shape setting and electropolishing, and cleanroom assembly and packaging for the medical device industry. In addition to servicing the prolific startup community in Israel, STI has developed a global business with extensive customer relationships in the U.S., Japan, China and Korea. Since being founded in 1998 by Tovy Sivan, President & CEO, STI has grown rapidly by identifying unmet customer needs and responding aggressively with customized solutions.
“Israel is recognized around the world as an important medical device center and we are very excited to gain access to these customers with STI. Tovy’s entrepreneurial spirit and the strong management team he assembled have created an impressive business serving the structural heart, neurovascular and minimally invasive surgery markets. The acquisition also broadens Resonetics’ nitinol processing capabilities, an important capability to serve our growing interventional business,” said Tom Burns, President and CEO, Resonetics.
“I am very proud of the position STI has built in the industry over the past 20 years,” remarked Tovy Sivan. “By joining forces with Resonetics now, we can offer our customers a broader set of manufacturing capabilities with the resources necessary to support best-in-class prototyping and high-volume production options in Israel, the United States, Europe and Costa Rica. We are uniquely positioned to service a growing list of industry leaders and I look forward to continuing to build this business with Tom, Chip and the team at GTCR.”
