Symmetry Medical

What Symmetry Medical does

Tecomet is a precision contract manufacturer serving the medical device and aerospace industries, founded in 1970 and headquartered at 115 Eames Street, Wilmington, Massachusetts. The company produces orthopedic implants (hip stems and cups, spinal rods/hooks/screws/interbody cages/plates, knee femoral/tibial/patella components, shoulder stems and uni-polar heads, trauma plates/screws and small bone components), surgical instruments, and cases/trays for medical device OEMs, alongside precision components for aerospace and defense contractors. It operates 24 manufacturing campuses across 6 countries with approximately 3,500 employees, offering an end-to-end manufacturing stack that includes additive manufacturing (3D-printing of plastic and metal parts), photochemical etching, CNC precision machining (milling, turning, grinding, laser processing), casting, forging, welding and bonding, and finishing (robotic and hand finishing, abrasive blast, shot peening, ultrasonic cleaning). Quality systems are described as FDA-compliant, and the company markets finished, sterilization-ready implant components.

The business runs on a sales-led B2B model in which Tecomet partners with medical device companies and aerospace manufacturers from concept through high-volume production via its LaunchRight design service and broader design-to-delivery capabilities (Innovation & Design, Product Prototyping, Packaging & Delivery Support, Unique Technologies). The company monetizes primarily through hardware sales of finished implant components, instruments, and cases/trays under quote-based contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customer segmentation is vertical — orthopedic medical device companies, spine device manufacturers, knee reconstruction companies, minimally invasive surgery device companies, trauma and extremities manufacturers, and aerospace and defense contractors — with the orthopedic, spine, and knee segments identified as primary. In 2024 Tecomet combined with Orchid under a merger transaction, expanding its orthopedic manufacturing footprint and consolidating two established contract manufacturing organizations under the Tecomet brand.
