Nearly a century of family ownership
Norwood Medical began in 1926 as a tool and die shop. The company worked on tooling for its first medical application in the 1970s. A local businessman who had worked at the company since 1950 purchased the business with a partner in 1981, and by the 1990s, the company had evolved into component manufacturing. Medical component manufacturing and assembly became Norwood’s sole focus in the early 2000s.
Heraeus and Norwood Medical share a common vision for transforming medical technology to help our customers deliver innovations that produce better outcomes for patients
— Jan Rinnert, CEO, Heraeus Holding GmbH
2021
In 2021, Norwood Medical was acquired by the Heraeus Group, a family-owned German technology group.
Heraeus’ roots go back to a family pharmacy that originated in 1660. Norwood had a number of potential suitors, but they chose Heraeus because of its similar family culture and willingness to take care of the company’s team members.
Today, you can trust us to provide the same exceptional level of quality, collaboration, and customer service that we always have—from our family to yours.
