What Cefimeca does

Cefimeca is a French B2B precision manufacturer founded in 1992, specializing in the complete manufacturing (excluding sterilization and packaging) of surgical instruments and orthopaedic implants for global medical device OEMs. The company operates two dedicated production sites in La Talaudière, France — a 2,200 m² instruments facility and a 1,425 m² implants facility, totalling approximately 3,700 m² — with deliberate physical separation to eliminate cross-contamination between implants and instruments. Its core technology is precision CNC machining of medical-grade materials (stainless steel, titanium, cobalt-chrome, plastics), supported by in-house capabilities including programming, sawing, turning, milling, boring, sanding, grinding, polishing, passivation, ultrasonic cleaning, laser marking, heat treatment, fitting, assembly, and inspection, plus management of subcontracted operations (welding, electro-erosion, surface treatment, titanium anodisation).

The business operates a sales-led enterprise model with bilingual field sales teams maintaining close year-round customer relationships, supported by quote-based pricing tied to specifications, materials, and production volumes. Cefimeca holds ISO 13485 certification (since 2008), FDA 21-CFR Part 820 clearance (since 2018), and RDC 16/2013 Brazilian compliance, enabling market access across major regulated geographies. As of 2023, the company reported 125 employees and €13.3 million in revenue. In April 2026, Cefimeca announced its integration into Oury Medical Group, transitioning from an independent SAS-structured private company to a subsidiary within a larger medical device manufacturing group, with Frédéric Mazenod continuing as President.
