What Oury-Guyé & Fils does

Oury Medical is a French surgical instrumentation manufacturer headquartered in Nogent, France, founded in 1909 as Oury-Guyé & Fils and rebranded under private equity ownership in 2023. The company designs, develops, and manufactures custom and standard surgical instruments — primarily for orthopedic and spinal surgery, with additional offerings in dental/cranio-maxillo-facial (CMF) surgery and veterinary orthopedics. Its product portfolio covers a catalog of over 1,300 standard instrument references plus bespoke instruments developed in collaboration with surgeons, complemented by cases, trays, sterilization containers, and full lifecycle maintenance and repair services. Underlying capabilities span in-house precision metalworking (laser cutting, EDM, machining), surface treatments (anodization, passivation, electropolishing), assembly, UDI labeling, and additive manufacturing through its Imprint Medical R&D center.

The business operates under a "One Stop Solution" model that combines custom co-development, prototyping, mass production, kitting/re-kitting, and ongoing maintenance into a single supplier relationship. Customers are predominantly enterprise OEMs and major orthopedic groups in Europe and internationally, with the Oury Equipment & Robotics division also serving aerospace, nuclear (EDF, ALSTOM), and military customers for industrial metalworking and painting services. Distribution is direct via field sales supported by participation in major industry events such as Eurospine; pricing is project-negotiated and not publicly disclosed. Five French production sites (Nogent, Villiers-le-Sec, Le Versoud, La Talaudière, and Saint-Étienne) employ more than 200 collaborators and operate under ISO 13485 and CE marking certifications, with regulatory expertise covering EU, USA, Japan, and UK markets.

Oury Medical has been owned since 2022 by TAG Partners, with SPE Capital and Tioopo Capital as co-investors, and has since executed four strategic acquisitions (SMAO, Imprint Medical, Metal Global Concept, and CEFIMECA) to consolidate a French surgical instrumentation platform. The company holds the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label and employs three Meilleurs Ouvriers de France. Revenue model is a mix of project-based custom work, catalog hardware sales, and recurring maintenance/service revenue — no public revenue figure is disclosed.
