When an international OEM orthopedic implant customer needs a problem solved, how do you solve it?

THE PROBLEM:
A large OEM orthopedic implant customer needed to launch an IM Femoral Bone Nail to market very quickly.• The center hole of the bone nail was too long to drill on their Swiss, causing them to add a secondary gundrilling operation.

  • The OEM decided to gundrill in-house, requiring additional equipment, operators, floor space, training, etc…

THE SOLUTION: NO MORE GUNDRILLING
Grover Precision partnered with the OEM to provide 12’ input seamless precision tubing, allowing for the elimination of the secondary gundrilling operation.• Rapid scale-up from initial conversation, ASL approval, validation, and production.

  • The customer could now go from our custom tubing to finished part complete.

We were able to solve the OEM’s problem by simplifying the entire process: a one-step solution that cut lead time from nearly two months to one to two days, while cutting costs and ZERO capital expenses. An elegant solution to a potentially huge problem.
