Millstone Medical Outsourcing is breaking ground on July 28 for an expansion project that is slated to add 40,000 square feet to the company’s headquarters in Fall River, Mass.

The expansion, expected to be complete in the first quarter of 2015, will add 8,000 square feet of class 10,000 clean room to the facility, as well as multiple ultrasonic clean lines. Yielding a 200-250 percent increase in production capacity, the project will allow Millstone to “continue its growth and permit the organization to meet the increasing demands of its customers,” according to company officials.

“We are thrilled about this expansion,” said Brad Schwarz, chief operating officer of Millstone Medical Outsourcing. “The influx of programs we have seen over the past few years is astonishing. Doubling our capacity and strengthening our partnerships, this expansion will provide us the additional space and capabilities required to meet more of our customer’s post-manufacturing needs.”

Millstone Medical Outsourcing provides customized outsourcing solutions to the medical device industry—primarily in orthopedics. The company offers advanced inspection, sterile and non-sterile packaging, loaner kit processing, and distribution services to device and product manufacturers worldwide. Privately held Millstone also has a facility just outside Memphis, Tenn., in Olive Branch, Miss.
