Today, Massachusetts Gov. Deval Patrick joined in the opening of the new headquarters, as well as a manufacturing facility, for Tegra Medical in Franklin. The site condenses Tegra’s two former locations in Holliston and Cranston, R.I.

The manufacturer of wire and tubular components for the medical device industry was established in 2007. Private equity firm Riverside Partners LLC acquired the three companies that formed Tegra Medical, including Holliston-based New England Precision Grinding, Cranston, R.I.-based Accu-Met Laser and Dartmouth-based American Medical Instruments.

The Franklin site gives Tegra Medical three times as much manufacturing space, with a cleaning system and class 100,000 controlled manufacturing environment being installed. The company also has a 57,000 square foot facility, dedicated to making specialty needles and cannulae, operating in Dartmouth.
