Thuasne® Acquires U.S. Company Corflex, Inc.
Thuasne, a global player in medical devices, is pleased to announce its continuous development in the US with the successful acquisition of the company Corflex Global, specialized in orthopedic bracing.
The Thuasne Group reinforces its position in the United States initiated with the acquisition of Townsend Design in 2011, Quinn Medical in 2016, and then Knit-Rite® in 2021. Thuasne has since served the US O&P and DME markets with a broad range of orthopedic bracing technologies, medical textiles, and compression. This is Thuasne’s 5th acquisition in the United States in 12 years.
The acquisition will enable Thuasne to capitalize on complementary channel coverage, and over time, a unified sales force in the US, enhancing efficiency and customer outreach. By integrating Corflex’s qualitative product line, Thuasne will enrich its offerings, providing customers with a broader and more differentiated range of solutions.
Corflex has earned a strong reputation for excellence in the orthopedic bracing industry, thanks to the dedication and innovative spirit of Paul and Ted Lorenzetti and their team. Their commitment to delivering high-quality bracing supports and exceptional customer service has established a loyal customer base and a strong brand presence in the US market.
This acquisition is based on a strong series of commonalities and values between the two companies:
Thuasne and Corflex both design and develop the products launched into the market, with comprehensive, controlled and proven know-how.
The two companies have always had an integrated industrial strategy, allowing them to master all stages of manufacturing and to align all the expertise in their specialty.
Their capacity for innovation, with a large number of patents filed each year, provides technological superiority that is useful to the patient.
This acquisition will lay the foundation for a shared future focused on:
Serving patients and customers with proven medical solutions: Combining expertise to deliver reliable and effective products.
Mixing design and technical expertise; Creating even more differentiated and innovative products.
Enhancing industrial capacities: Achieving greater efficiency and scalability in production.
Thuasne acknowledges the dedication of its team and the team at Corflex in making this acquisition successful. Their collective efforts and commitment to excellence will drive the continued growth and success of the unified entity.
