Concordia Medical To Move Into Larger Facility

Concordia Manufacturing LLC, Coventry, R.I., will move its Concordia Medical business to a new facility in the Airport Industrial Park in Warwick, R.I. Designed and built specifically for medical device manufacturing, the 24,000-square-foot facility will include ISO7 and ISO8 clean room space, development space, test labs, “white manufacturing,” offices and space for future expansion.

The company expects to move equipment into the facility in June, and complete all validation efforts in August of this year. The Concordia Fibers specialty industrial fibers business will remain in Coventry.

Concordia Medical’s Biofelt™ bioabsorbable nonwoven tissue-engineering scaffolds have been undergoing preclinical trials for a range of regenerative medicine  applications. Two of its medical device customers recently received approvals to conduct human clinical trials for urological and dental implant applications.
