Cretex Companies recently debuted its new brand, Cretex Medical at the Medical Design &
Manufacturing Show in Minneapolis, MN.
Cretex Companies
ELK RIVER, Minn. — Last week, at the Medical Design & Manufacturing (MD&M) Show in Minneapolis,
Cretex Companies debuted the new branding for its medical group of companies– Cretex Medical.
Operating under the umbrella name of Cretex Medical are rms, rms Surgical, Meier, and JunoPacific.
These companies provide a broad range of contract manufacturing solutions for implantables, non-
implantables, durables and disposables.
"We've had a strong presence in the medical device industry for many years, with each of our medical
companies serving its own market niche," commented Lynn Schuler, President and CEO. "But most people
don't know that these companies are part of a larger group, Cretex Companies with a portfolio of
complimentary manufacturing capabilities. Under the umbrella name of Cretex Medical, we showcase the
breadth of our services for medical contract manufacturing," Schuler added. "However, it's important to
know that this change will not impact the way we operate. Responsiveness and personalized customer
service for which all our companies are known will remain our focus." In the near future, Cretex Medical will
roll out its new brand identity with a new website and additional marketing collateral.
The four companies making up the newly named Cretex Medical operate in seven locations throughout the
US with about 1,000 employees.
rms provides contract machining, molding and assembly services with a specialty in implantables for the
cardio/neuro stimulation, vascular interventional and orthopaedic market segments.
