Description

UMA Precision Machining is a leading contract manufacturer specializing in tight-tolerance precision machining for the medical device and instrumentation markets. Founded in 2000, UMA began as a small operation with just one machine in a garage near the Twin Cities of Minnesota. Over more than two decades, the company has evolved into a fully integrated medical device contract manufacturer operating from a 25,000 square foot, state-of-the-art, climate-controlled facility located in Zimmerman, Minnesota. UMA serves over 30 active customers, primarily OEMs in the medical device industry, with a focus on custom orthopedic and cardiovascular components and assemblies. The company is proud to hold ISO 13485:2016 certification, reflecting its commitment to quality management systems tailored specifically for medical device manufacturing. UMA Precision Machining offers a comprehensive range of machining capabilities, including Swiss CNC multi-axis machining, multi-axis CNC milling, CNC turning, and wire EDM, complemented by assembly and finishing services that provide vertically integrated solutions. Beyond machining, UMA manages material sourcing—including standard and exotic materials—prototyping, new product introduction, product validation, production requirements, inventory management, and logistics. The company emphasizes continuous improvement through advanced technology investments, process development, and ongoing education, aiming to support customers in bringing their innovative medical products to market efficiently and reliably. Since 2020, with the acquisition of a majority stake by Prather Capital Partners, UMA has expanded its capacity and capabilities, including recent investments in Citizen L20X Swiss machining centers and advanced metrology equipment such as the Zeiss O-INSPECT multisensor measurement system. UMA’s culture centers on customer focus, high-end service, competitive project turnaround times, and consistent quality performance for the most demanding applications in the medical device and industrial instrumentation sectors.
