South Plainfield, New Jersey – Vention Medical officials have expanded the company’s Catheter Center of Excellence in Minneapolis, Minnesota, doubling its footprint in the medical technology hub of the Twin Cities.

The move to a new, larger facility enhances Vention’s capabilities as a strategic partner, combining its expertise in manufacturing precision catheter components with technical support resources to offer customers a complete solution to their catheter-based device needs.

“Our new site is a one-stop shop,” said Tom Testa, president of Vention’s Advanced Components business. “This world-class facility will provide our customers another Vention option to partner with for their catheter projects from start to finish.
