WARSAW — Autocam Medical, an orthopedic manufacturer with headquarters in Grand Rapids, Mich., plans to construct a $70 million facility in Warsaw’s Tech Park along US 30.
Construction of the 100,000 square foot state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is expected to begin in 2025, with anticipated completion and occupancy within 12 to 18 months of groundbreaking, according to a new release by the company posted on its website.
The company currently employs 10 people at the Medtronic building in Warsaw, but is expected to create up to 300 high-skill jobs with the expansion, the news release said.
The workforce will include CNC machinists, engineers, and a wide range of technical and manufacturing roles.
At Autocam Medical’s Michigan location, the average machinist’s salary exceeds $74,000 annually, and the company is looking at similar wage levels in Warsaw.
Autocam Medical selected Warsaw for its renowned expertise in orthopedic manufacturing, proximity to key customers and suppliers, and vibrant workforce culture, the news release said.
The facility is designed to maximize visibility and brand impact, as its location on a high-traffic corridor will serve as both a production hub and a recruitment tool for future talent.
The facility, which will be built on a 15-acre parcel at the Northeast corner of CR North 200W and US 30, represents a capital investment of over $70 million in building and advanced manufacturing equipment.
An announcement is expected later today.
“Warsaw offers a workforce with technical excellence in the medical device space and unique industry leadership. That’s exactly the kind of environment where we want to invest,” said John C. Kennedy, Chief Executive Officer of Autocam Medical. “We are thrilled to expand in the Warsaw community and contribute to its continued leadership in orthopedic innovation.”
