The acquisition of the high quality coating facility in China further strengthens Orchid’s role as a global coating leader. Orchid can now offer world-class coating capabilities in the U.S., Europe and Asia to its customers. The acquisition also creates a base for Orchid to further expand its capabilities in China to serve the growing demands in the market.
“The acquisition of Cam China strongly commits Orchid to the market in Asia. We will continue to expand our manufacturing platform and coating capabilities in China to support the growing demand from our global and local customers,” said Christopher Norbye, Orchid’s International Executive Vice President, based in China.
”We are convinced that Orchid is the perfect company to continue the development of the operations and relationships we have built over the last four years in China and I am confident the team in China will have great opportunities to grow the business together with Orchid going forward,” said Gerard Kok, the founder and owner of Cam Bioceramics.
Cam Bioceramics is a global orthobiologic materials innovator specializing in calcium phosphates. By divesting its China coating facility to Orchid, Cam Bioceramics is focusing on its core business: the engineering, development and contract manufacturing of orthobiologic calcium compositions. The company is based in Leiden, the Netherlands and its Dutch ownership remains unchanged.
