Cretex Medical, a leading provider of contract medical device manufacturing and engineering services, announced that it has acquired select assets and capabilities of Design Phactory, LLC.
Known for its expertise in solving complex molding challenges, Design Phactory is a highly sought-after tooling designer for plastic injection molding. The transaction closed in October 2026 in accordance with customary closing conditions.
“We’re excited to join Cretex Medical,” said Russ Salzbrun, Owner of Design Phactory. “This gives us the opportunity to work closely with the production side of injection molding. Gaining insights from the operators who actually work with the molding tools will only strengthen and accelerate our design process.”
Cretex Medical offers precision-molded components and assemblies for a wide variety of medical devices throughout multiple markets. “The Design Phactory acquisition adds over 100 years of industry-leading design expertise to our existing capabilities,” said Steve Williams, President of Cretex Medical | CDT. “
By bringing together sophisticated tooling design with the recent acquisition of Holland Molds and our industry-leading injection molding operations, we will be able to provide our customers with a world-class end-to-end experience.”
