Manufacturing industry’s acquisitions, hires, promotions, transitions

Comar, a plastic packaging, dispensing, and medical device provider acquired iMARK Molding, a custom contract manufacturer focused on serving the medical device industry.

The combined company will offer additional best-in-class engineering and custom plastic molding and assembly services to Comar’s medical device, diagnostic, and pharmaceutical customers while also supporting Comar’s growth objectives in the medical and pharmaceutical segments.

Based in Woodville, Wisconsin, less than a one-hour drive from Minneapolis, Minnesota, iMARK specializes in complex scientific injection molding, automated and manual assembly, and cleanroom operations.

With this acquisition and other recent investments, Comar is now better positioned to address the unmet needs of original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) in Class 1 and 2 medical and healthcare consumables, which are experiencing favorable tailwinds from the adoption of disposables, an aging population, and increased outsourcing.

Glavanovits started in the tool and die industry manufacturing dies for many industries, including electronics, automotive, and consumer products.

Shortly after, he opened up his own shop that made dies and high tolerance machined parts. As that business took off, it led to the machining more complex parts for medical and aerospace. Having worked with different and difficult to machine materials, Glavanovits is excited for the challenge of working for Tornos and helping you find solutions to your application needs. Glavanovits is looking forward to receiving customer prints and parts and offering his expertise.
