Phillips-Medisize Corporation announced the completion of its metal injection molding (MIM) facility expansion.
The facility, which now covers 50,000 ft2, is located on the company’s Menomonie, Wisconsin, USA medical campus. This is the second expansion of this site in the past three years to support continued growth of medical and specialty commercial business segments, the company reports
The plant houses four continuous debind and sintering furnaces, multiple batch furnaces, dedicated MIM equipment as well as a fully staffed and equipped metallurgical lab. The latest expansion adds continuous debind and sintering furnace capacity, which is more cost effective and provides a competitive advantage in the manufacturing of higher volume MIM components, according to Phillips-Medisize.
‘We believe this expansion, with the addition of another continuous debind and sintering furnace, also allows us to service more new, and existing, customers with the largest capacity for metal injection molding in North America,’ said Matt Jennings, chairman and CEO of Phillips-Medisize Corporation.
