Flex announced on December 8, 2015, its acquisition of Farm Design. Adding Farm’s world-class team and award-winning design capabilities to Flex’s established medical segment further expands Flex’s industrial design, usability engineering, and development expertise, creating one of the largest and most comprehensive medical-design services organizations in the industry.
Farm will continue to offer the same core services — including human factors, design, and engineering expertise — that have made us one of the most highly regarded medical-technology development firms in the U.S. Our talented group of employees, our location, and the reputation we’ve built over four decades will remain a key aspect of our continued services. By partnering with Flex, Farm can now offer our clients access to Flex’s global manufacturing, real-time supply chain insight, and logistics services — a complete end-to-end solution for our clients’ product-development needs.
“We are delighted to welcome the highly talented Farm Design team to Flex,” said Paul Humphries, group president of High Reliability Solutions at Flex. “Over the past 40 years, they have built an outstanding company with an award-winning design portfolio and a reputation for quality and integrity. This strategic addition is extremely well aligned with the sketch-to-scale offerings of our medical group, and will enhance the design services we provide to our valued medical customers.”
“Flex’s first-class global organization and manufacturing facilities make it an ideal fit for Farm Design and our employees,” said Jack Harkins, President of Farm. “We are excited to join Flex’s team and become a part of their innovative medical group as we continue to provide our customers with industry-leading design services.”
