CROOM ‘Engineers Movement’, Partners with Rosler for Surface Finishing

Since 1984, Croom Medical has supplied global healthcare companies with outsourced manufacturing services of high-precision components and medical devices. The Ireland-based company is an industry leader utilizing high-tech, high-growth, cutting-edge medical device manufacturing technology.

When it came to the design, manufacture, and installation of its initial orthopedic implant finishing systems, Croom Medical chose Rosler as its strategic partner. As production and throughput of medical implants increased to the point of expansion, Croom once again turned to Rosler.

The Situation
From the initial contact to the final installation and commissioning, Croom’s expansion occurred under somewhat complicated circumstances. Falling within COVID restrictions, extra care and consideration had to be paid to meet the project’s expected timelines and incorporate required safety protocols.

Thanks to the support from Croom’s internal team and Rosler’s installation and engineering teams from the UK and Germany, everything resulted in a commendable operation. With the installation now in place, Croom proceeded with validating the processes and fulfilling customer and, subsequently patient, commitments.

The Solution
The utilized Rosler equipment provides a consistent and reproducible polish on implants after machining. The precise finishing capabilities meet industry standards, and the absolute repeatability ensures work piece acceptance rates.

Another advantage of the system is its ability to finish multiple implants simultaneously, which reduces the overall cost per part compared to traditional single-piece finishing methods. 

Rosler’s ability to serve as an equipment, consumables, and service provider makes the partnership with Croom even more beneficial.
