Schivo Medical

What Schivo Medical does

Schivo Medical is a precision medical device contract manufacturer headquartered in Waterford, Ireland, and operating as part of the broader Schivo Group since its founding in 1973. The company operates approximately 302,000 square feet of manufacturing capacity across seven global facilities and employs roughly 630 people, supporting a vertically integrated manufacturing model that spans precision machining, plastics and molding (extended via the 2025 acquisition of Mecaplast SA), screw and component production, fluidics (added via the 2022 APN Global acquisition), assembly, and analytical sciences services (added via the 2024 ParMed acquisition). Its proprietary AFP (Advanced Fluid Path) valves product line represents a niche, defensible offering within an otherwise contract-manufacturing business.

The company's customer base consists of named Tier 1 medical device OEMs including Intuitive Surgical, Medtronic, Boston Scientific (Apollo Endosurgery), Stryker, and Zimmer Biomet — engagements that typically reflect multi-year, qualification-heavy supply relationships governed by ISO 13485 and FDA-registered quality systems. Revenue mechanics follow a project-based, tooling-and-PPAP-driven B2B services model in which Schivo is paid for NPI (new product introduction) work, production volumes, and ongoing lifecycle support across long-running OEM programs.

Strategically, Schivo has executed a programmatic M&A and capacity buildout: Supreme Screw Products (2021-02), APN Global (2022-11), a $46.2M growth-capital raise (2023-04-30), ParMed (2024-09), a greenfield Mexicali Mexico facility (2025), and Mecaplast SA (2025-09). The pattern points to a sponsor-backed platform consolidating precision medical device manufacturing capacity, broadening its process portfolio, and establishing a nearshore footprint for North American customers. The company references Industry 4.0 in its operations but does not disclose proprietary AI/ML capabilities or productized digital offerings.
