Norman Noble, Inc. utilizes the most technologically advanced machining and finishing capabilities for the manufacturing of Orthopedic implants and devices. We are your supplier of choice for Orthopedic Plates and Screws used in Spine, Trauma, Extremity, and Maxiofacial applications. Our 7-Axis Contour Milling and Swiss Turning equipment enables us to manufacture a complete part from a single machine reducing costs and providing better quality to our customers compared to traditional machining methods that require secondary operations. This equipment is available for process development, as well as production, located in separate & fully dedicated departments. Proprietary Electropolishing, CNC Tumbling, and Titanium Anodizing processes enable Norman Noble, Inc. to meet all types of surface finish specifications for orthopedic implants. We also have 8 fully dedicated contour milling machines for the manufacturing of implant grade PEEK components.
