Originally built as a chemical plant in 1974 (something I wouldn't want any part of!), this structure was converted to medical manufacturing not long after a deed transfer in December of 2000, with an extensive renovation of electrical and HVAC systems I was told. In the property records one can see all the many past incarnations of the chemical plant's ownership (it could of been a reality T.V. show!). The door openings were built a few inches above the main floor level to isolate any chemical spills back in the day. Oh what fun chemical spills must of been!
To make a long story very short, I started in 2003 when it was Machining Technology Group. This became part of Accellent, Inc. in 2005, ceased operations for a short while and the building is now part of Wright Medical Technology. Wright Medical has a much larger facility (more like a campus!) on the south end of Airline Rd., and has had a presence in Arlington for decades. I understand they still do a lot of manufacturing here at this location pictured as at least one of my former co-workers was hired by them and called me a while back. Don't worry, while this don't look like much on the outside, Wright is keeping the place quite nice and clean on the inside I'm sure!

Hunter House was home to John and William Hunter, famous medical brothers who were born and raised here in the 18th century. The story begins with their childhood years and ends with fame and fortune, their reward for discoveries that still affect modern surgery and anatomy today.

Scott Kettlewell, Intraoperative Neurologic Monitoring Technologist, monitors the functional integrity of certain neural structures during a spinal surgery in Korle Bu hospital in Ghana.
No I didn't work for Wright Medical, but the previous company that was here. In addition to all that eating in Arlington, we did do some work on occasion! Of course, going back to Arlington meant going back to check out the old work place, at least for a Saturday drive-by. This is the sign out front: Wright Medical Technology took this over from a much smaller company which ceased operations here shortly after I left in 2008. (UPDATE: Uh, oh, accellent changed their name, again!!). Working for weeks and months after a closure announcement isn't much fun, so I was glad to miss out on that, although the severance packages were quite generous.
Anyway, now I work for an even smaller company, which is fine by me! Small, yet still big enough to be one of the top 5 medical device companies in Memphis. (You may have to scroll the page down a bit to see Hernando squeaked in at no. 5!)
And those parts shown on that last linked page, I would not be allowed to take pics of myself for risk of irking some of our customers. My employer would frown upon it as well I'm sure! Some of the devices shown there I might of possibly had a hand in making! And no, you do not want ANY of that stuff stuck in your body (to implant "things") if you can ever help it! We often cringe ourselves at the site of this stuff after it has been assembled, and a lot of surgical instruments are quite a bit more brutal looking than those in the picture!
More on the building, and the history of the place in the next photo a day pic.
