The acquisition of Hobson further strengthens Vantedge's position as a nationwide manufacturing partner to blue-chip medical OEMs and broadens Vantedge's consumable portfolio offering. Since Aterian's acquisition of Vantedge in May 2018, Vantedge has acquired five medical technology businesses, established and fully commercialized new production facilities, completed substantial capital equipment capacity expansion and significantly invested in human capital throughout the organization. Vantedge now operates nine facilities across the United States with more than 1,200 employees.
