Medical device company Nissha Medical Technologies plans to establish engineering operations in Nashville, Tennessee. The $4.5 million project is expected to create 38 jobs.

The company plans to share incubator space for research and development (R&D) at Vanderbilt University as its new Center of Excellence.

"The opening of our new Engineering Center of Excellence in Nashville is a significant milestone for Nissha Medical Technologies. This move is the culmination of immense effort from a wide range of partners, and I want to extend my deepest gratitude to everyone who helped make this a reality. Adding to our global footprint, Nashville will serve as the home for our R&D hub, the new headquarters for our partner, EndoTheia, and vital incubator space for other startups. By fostering collaboration and leveraging Vanderbilt's exceptional research, we are accelerating our efforts in miniaturization, visualization, navigation and surgical robotics. As a medical device CDMO, our goal is to deliver innovative technologies to medical OEMs worldwide, with this new center as a key part of our approach,” Sam Heleba, President & CEO, Nissha Medical Technologies said.

Nissha Medical Technologies focuses on medical device design and manufacturing, specializing in patient monitoring and surgical solutions. NMT is the medical devices business unit and wholly owned subsidiary of Nissha Co., Ltd., a publicly held company based in Kyoto, Japan.

“We are proud to welcome Nissha Medical Technologies to Tennessee and can’t think of a better location than Nashville with its world-class healthcare ecosystem and research assets like Vanderbilt. Under Gov. Lee’s leadership and through historic investments in innovation, we are committed to advancing healthcare and driving economic growth across the state by projects like NMT that we are announcing today,” noted TNECD Commissioner Stuart C. McWhorter.

“Creating job opportunities and bringing investment to the region is fundamental to TVA’s mission of service. We are proud to partner with Nashville Electric Service, the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development, Metro Nashville Government, Nashville Area Chamber of Commerce and Vanderbilt University to further that mission and congratulate Nissha Medical Technologies on its decision to establish operations in Davidson County. We wish them success and look forward to working together to serve the Tennessee Valley,” added John Bradley, senior vice president of economic development, TVA.
