Extrumed Announces The Launch Of The Quick Turn Extrusion Program

August 1, 2007

ExtruMed is proud to announce the launch of our new “Quick Turn” extrusion service. This service is being launched in response to customers’ demand for rapid turnaround of prototype, R&D, pilot and small batch tubing runs. Apur Lathiya, ExtruMed’s COO, commented “Up until now there was no reliable source for an R&D engineer to obtain - prototype extrusion runs rapidly and economically. Most extrusion companies would address these demands by cutting into their normal production schedule and charging the customer expedite fees for a quick turn extrusion. ExtruMed’s Quick Turn Service will utilize dedicated human and capital resources to be able to serve the R&D engineer… quickly, reliably and economically.”

The Quick Turn program is designed primarily for small lots (< 100 feet) of extrusions in single and simple multi-lumen configurations with standard tolerances. As part of this program ExtruMed will maintain a library of commonly used raw materials. As the program evolves, ExtruMed will build a library of tooling for common multi-lumen configurations as well as a library of radiopaque compounds and color concentrates. The program incorporates different levels of service depending on what the engineer requires with different lead times and price points. Typical lead times for single lumen tubing in standard materials will be 5 days or less.

In conjunction with the launch of this service, we are also pleased to announce the addition of Doyle Tinnes as Senior Process Engineer to our engineering team. Doyle joins us with over twenty years experience in complex profile extrusions and tooling design and with eight years in the medical tubing industry. Doyle will be responsible for heading up the production activities of the Quick Turn Program.
