The deal marks a significant step in the growth strategy overseen by Gainline since it purchased M&M in July 2024. By absorbing KC Tech, a family-owned manufacturer with over two decades of operational history, M&M aims to diversify its product catalog beyond its traditional small-diameter, high-precision stainless steel tubing. The integration combines M&M’s 304, 316, and 17-7 grade expertise with KC Tech’s specialized capabilities, a move CEO Jeff Robertson described as a response to the shifting requirements of medical device customers.

M&M International Expands Medical Tubing Reach with KC Tech Acquisition
Stamford-based private equity firm Gainline Capital Partners has moved to consolidate its position in the medical device supply chain, announcing that its portfolio company M&M International has acquired its long-time partner, KC Tech, to integrate larger diameter tubing production into its existing manufacturing footprint.
Rob Dellinger, a partner at Gainline, framed the acquisition as a fulfillment of the firm’s original mandate to scale the business through a mix of organic expansion and strategic add-ons. For KC Tech, the transition brings a 33-year-old industry veteran into a global manufacturing network that maintains facilities in South Korea. CEO Terry Park noted that the alignment of corporate values between the two entities was a deciding factor in the transaction, which is expected to bolster the supply chain for high-tech medical applications.
