Zeus, a leading manufacturer of catheters and medical tubing, announced a multimillion-dollar investment to expand its catheter manufacturing capacity worldwide in response to growing demand from medical device OEMs. The company planned to more than double its footprint at its San Jose, California facility and create 15 new jobs at that location, with over fifty additional positions expected in the coming years.
As a long-standing provider of catheter printing machines for Zeus, Engineered Printing Solutions collaborated on the expansion by building a specialized catheter pad printer. The KE13-based printing cell featured a 360-degree vacuum catheter fixture bed to secure parts, a pad shuttle, and two opposing servo-driven cup slides that converge at the cliché’s center. This design enabled Zeus to meet its customers’ immediate requirements most effectively, according to Suresh Sainath, General Manager and Senior Vice President for Zeus’ CathX Medical division.
The partnership demonstrated EPS’s commitment to supporting customer growth. When customers return repeatedly, we think we must be doing something right — reflecting our success in helping organizations expand their manufacturing capabilities and capacity.
This customer story is the predecessor to our current 14-Color Catheter case study, which goes deep on the KE13 14C cell architecture.
