Acme Medical Devices headquarters

Our Story

Acme Medical Devices was founded in 1985 by Dr. Robert Acme, a physician frustrated by the inconsistent quality of medical instruments available to him and his colleagues. What started as a small workshop producing precision syringes has grown into a global company serving healthcare providers in over 120 countries.

Today, we employ over 2,500 people worldwide and manufacture a comprehensive range of medical devices, from simple syringes to sophisticated infusion systems. But our founding principle remains unchanged: every product we make must meet the highest standards of quality and reliability.
