Drummond Scientific Company has acquired Accu-Glass, LLC for an undisclosed amount. Accu-Glass, a company with over 50 years of experience, specializes in providing integrated glass tubing solutions, leveraging proprietary glass melting processes, customized manufacturing equipment, and advanced measurement systems. Its expertise lies in evaluating customer concepts, designing engineered solutions for prototypes, and producing finished components for integration into unique applications across medical, consumer electronic, and industrial sectors.
Accu-Glass manufactures a diverse range of precision glass tubing products essential for critical applications. These include capillary tubes for collecting and dispensing specific volumes of liquids, capillary flow restrictors for mobile infusion pumps, ferrule tubing for diagnostic kits, and ampoules for urgent care. The company is known for solving flow control and liquid handling needs for medical device and pharmaceutical manufacturers, as well as producing materials vital for point-of-care tests. Its micro-bore tubing can be custom formed, and it offers unique capabilities such as producing multiple geometric shapes and single or multiple bore configurations.
This acquisition is strategically significant for Drummond Scientific Company, as it integrates Accu-Glass’s specialized precision glass manufacturing capabilities directly into its operations. Accu-Glass’s deep expertise in producing clean, inexpensive glass components ideal for disposable medical devices and clinical lab applications complements Drummond Scientific’s focus on scientific instrumentation and laboratory solutions. The addition of Accu-Glass’s proprietary processes and product portfolio, particularly in micro-bore and capillary tubing, enhances Drummond Scientific’s ability to offer advanced liquid handling and diagnostic components.
The combination of these entities is expected to create synergies by broadening product offerings and strengthening manufacturing capabilities. The unified company will be better positioned to meet the evolving demands of the medical device, pharmaceutical, and broader scientific industries, providing comprehensive solutions from concept development to finished precision glass components.
