Contract manufacturer of medical devices and surgical instruments
Cretex Medical is a 1,000–5,000-person contract manufacturer providing end-to-end services for medical device OEMs: CNC machining, injection molding, additive manufacturing, laser processing, sterilization coordination, and finished-device assembly. The hiring mix is overwhelmingly manufacturing-focused (75 of 92 open roles), with minimal engineering (2 roles) and no tech adoption in progress—a profile typical of asset-heavy, process-driven manufacturers. Active projects center on process validation, operator training, quality documentation (IQ/OQ/PQ), and 5S initiatives, while pain points cluster around scrap rates, manufacturing efficiency, and on-time delivery—operational constraints that define the contract manufacturing economics.
Cretex Medical operates a full-service medical device contract manufacturing facility in Elk River, Minnesota. The company serves OEM customers across surgical instruments, sterilization cases, diagnostic devices, and implantables, managing the entire production chain from design and engineering validation through molding, machining, additive manufacturing, and sterile packaging. Their technical capabilities span precision metal stamping, CNC machining, injection molding, laser micro-machining, and assembly. Revenue and volume scale depend on customer throughput and process efficiency; the company manages these through continuous process validation, quality documentation, and operator training programs.
