Limerick, marking the largest single investment in the company\u2019s 42-year history and a milestone for advanced orthopaedic manufacturing in Ireland\u2019s Mid-West.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The development, known as ACOT (Advanced Centre of Orthopaedic Technologies) is a purpose-built, 38,000 sq ft facility designed establish a true R&#038;D and industrialisation centre of excellence according to the company.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ACOT says it will integrate the full spectrum of orthopaedic manufacturing under one roof: precision CNC machining, lights-out machining and grinding, palletised loading, multi-material additive manufacturing, vacuum furnace heat treatment, electropolishing, anodising, automated polishing and finishing, digital inspection, and clean-and-pack operations. From metal and plastic to finished implant, under one roof.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For OEM partners, ACOT will enable deeper integration across the full product lifecycle, from early-stage design and prototyping through to validated serial production, across shoulder, hip, knee, spine, trauma, and sports medicine devices. By consolidating advanced processes within a single vertically integrated facility, the centre will deliver fewer handoffs, faster time to market, and one trusted manufacturing partner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ACOT has been designed around the direction in which the orthopaedic industry is heading: cementless fixation, robotic-assisted surgery, and additive manufacturing at scale. These trends demand advanced technology, sophisticated surface finishing, and vertically integrated supply chains. ACOT is purpose-built to deliver on each of these requirements.<\/p>\n<p>Image: Croom Medical<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ACOT is being developed with the support of Enterprise Ireland, reflecting its strategic importance to Ireland\u2019s medical technology sector and the region\u2019s industrial base. The facility will be solar-powered and digitally connected, reinforcing Croom Medical\u2019s&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/med-techinsights.com\/2026\/02\/23\/croom-medical-breaks-ground-on-advanced-centre-of-orthopaedic-technology\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Croom Medical breaks ground on Advanced Centre of Orthopaedic Technology https:\/\/med-techinsights.com\/2026\/02\/23\/croom-medical-breaks-ground-on-advanced-centre-of-orthopaedic-technology\/ Publish Date: 2026-02-23 07:50:00&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":216529,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/med-techinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/DSC02155.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[119,129],"class_list":["post-216528","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","tag-medical","tag-solar"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216528"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=216528"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216528\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":216530,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/216528\/revisions\/216530"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/216529"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=216528"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=216528"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=216528"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
