ORANGEBURG, S.C., June 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Zeus, the global leader in advanced polymer solutions, today announced a multi-million dollar investment to expand its catheter manufacturing capacity worldwide. The first phase of the expansion program is already underway at the company's San Jose location in California. This initial project will significantly extend the facility's footprint to increase catheter-based design and manufacturing capacity.

This expansion will also increase the facility's ISO-certified cleanroom capacity for design, prototyping, validation, and manufacturing to over 7,000 square feet total and double Zeus' braiding and coiling capacity for catheter-based minimally invasive devices.
The San Jose expansion will create 15 new jobs this year and 50-plus new jobs over the next one-to-two years. These added positions will include project engineers, project managers, product builders, and technicians.
