Med device has deep roots in Buffalo.
Decades of device-component expertise and roughly half the cost of building a company, a combination that's hard to find anywhere else.
The implantable pacemaker battery was invented here. The ecosystem didn't leave.
Greatbatch, now Integer, started in Buffalo in 1970. The med device component industry never left, and building on a generation of engineers who stayed, the next generation is ready to keep building toward the future.

A reclaimed industrial block. Intentionally.
Establishing a presence in the Northland campus, we bet on Buffalo's industrial future. Workforce training, advanced manufacturing, startups and anchors under one roof, on the east side, where the work started in the first place.
