What Arch Global Precision does

Arch Global Precision is a privately held, US-based precision machining and manufacturing platform company formed in December 2011 and headquartered in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. The company operates two core segments: ARCH Medical Solutions, a contract manufacturer of orthopedic and dental implants, surgical instruments, and components and subassemblies for robotic-assisted surgical equipment serving top-tier medical device OEMs; and ARCH Cutting Tools, a manufacturer of precision cutting tools (solid carbide, high-speed steel, indexable, and custom tooling) distributed through brands including KEO Cutters, Richards Micro-Tool, Ultra-Dex Tooling Systems, and ARCH Specials. Underlying capabilities span 3-, 4-, and 5-axis CNC machining, Swiss machining, EDM, laser marking (until the 2025 divestiture), NADCAP-certified finishing, and additive manufacturing of Titanium implants via Amplify Additive.

The platform executes a programmatic acquisition strategy, having completed approximately 50 acquisitions since inception across approximately 40 US manufacturing plants. Originally formed by Strength Capital Partners and Main Post Partners through a $38.6 million carve-out of three TriMas businesses, ARCH completed a $96 million equity recapitalization in 2015 and was acquired by The Jordan Company in 2019. In April 2021, the company divested its third segment (ARCH Precision Components) to Madison Dearborn Partners to focus capital and management attention on medical and cutting tools. The company monetizes primarily through B2B contract manufacturing on multi-year OEM programs with quote-based pricing, complemented by catalog and custom cutting tool sales through direct enterprise sales and the Affiliated Distributors industrial supply network. Certifications including NADCAP, ISO 13485, FDA, and ITAR registrations, combined with capital-intensive automation and a multi-brand distribution platform, constitute the principal sources of competitive durability.
