NN, which is based in Johnson City, Tenn., has said it expects the deal to deliver $33 million in synergies over three years, with $16 million coming during the first year after closing, expected during the second quarter.

“We are thrilled to welcome the Paragon team to the NN family. Paragon Medical enhances our technical proficiencies, diversifies our product and finished device offerings and adds key employees who will make impactful contributions throughout the organization.
