MedVenture, Helix Medical rebrand as Freudenberg Medical

Helix Medical and its owned subsidiary MedVenture Technologies said today they will now operate under the umbrella brand of Freudenberg Medical.

The Carpinteria, Calif.-based business group said it hopes the new brand will emphasize the company’s role as a global development and innovation partner, according to a press release.

“Since we selected Helix Medical as our company name our enterprise has grown exponentially, both organically and through acquisitions, and we have significantly broadened our capabilities. Our new brand, Freudenberg Medical, underlines our commitment to be the preferred global development and innovation partner for medical device and pharmaceutical customers,” Freudenberg Medical CEO Jorg Schneewind said in a press release.

Freudenberg Medical develops and manufactures components and minimally invasive device solutions for medical device makers, with MedVenture specializing in MIS systems and catheters, according to the company.

Massachusetts-based global medical device maker Helix Medical acquired MedVenture Technologies in 2012 from Ampersand Capital Partners, a Boston-based private equity firm with a focus on middle market growth equity investments in the healthcare sector.
