10/26/2024
The company will lease a 30,000-square-foot facility at 3701 E. Virginia Beach Blvd. to house its medical device reprocessing operation and distribution center. Operations are scheduled for the first quarter of 2025.
“Currie Medical is excited to expand our operations into the vibrant business community of Norfolk,” said Currie Medical Inc. Co-Owners Owen Griffin and Carter Smith. “This region offers us a skilled workforce, strong infrastructure, and a supportive environment that fosters growth and innovation in the medical technology sector. With this investment, we are committed to bringing new job opportunities to the area and continuing to develop new solutions in medical device reprocessing. We look forward to contributing to the advancement of healthcare with our growing Norfolk-based team.”
The Virginia Economic Development Partnership (VEDP) worked with the City of Norfolk and the Hampton Roads Economic Development Alliance to secure the project and will support Currie Medical’s job creation through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program. As a business incentive supporting economic development, VJIP reduces the human resource costs of new and expanding companies. VJIP is state funded, demonstrating Virginia's commitment to enhancing job opportunities for citizens.
“The growth of?Currie?Medical?underscores Norfolk’s appeal for businesses seeking strategic East Coast locations,” noted Secretary of Commerce and Trade Caren Merrick. "This expansion enhances Virginia's diverse healthcare ecosystem, bridging advanced manufacturing with the?medical?sector to drive economic growth.”
Currie Medical is also eligible to receive state benefits from The Port of Virginia Economic and Infrastructure Development Zone Grant Program.
“I am thrilled to congratulate the City of Norfolk on the expansion of?Currie?Medical,” added Hampton Roads Alliance President and CEO Douglas L. Smith. “This growth not only strengthens the local economy but also plays a pivotal role in bolstering the Hampton Roads region by creating jobs and fostering innovation in the healthcare sector.”
Currie Medical Inc. is provider and innovator in the design, manufacturing, and distribution of medical equipment and devices used for patient care in hospitals. The company also specializes in the reprocessing of medical devices, providing sustainable solutions for the healthcare industry.
“Currie Medical is growing and is leveraging an important economic incentive program that benefits both the company and The Port of Virginia,” said Virginia Port Authority CEO and Executive Director Stephen A. Edwards. “Currie is eligible for The Port of Virginia Economic and Infrastructure Development Zone Grant Program that is designed to encourage expansion and job creation. This program can help Currie Medical to expand and in doing so it can take advantage of this port’s worldwide reach. When companies like Currie Medical grow, the port and community benefit.”
