Exhibit 99.1

Accellent Completes Acquisition of Lake Region Medical

Wilmington, MA (March 12, 2014)—Today, Accellent Inc. (“the Company” or “Accellent”), a leading provider of fully integrated outsourced manufacturing and engineering services to the medical device industry, announced it has completed the acquisition of Lake Region Medical (“Lake Region”), a privately held, original development manufacturer of minimally invasive devices and delivery systems to the cardiology and endovascular markets. As previously announced, the merged businesses will be called Lake Region Medical carrying on the Fleischhacker family legacy of serving the medical device industry for over 60 years.

“We are pleased to announce the closing of this acquisition and we believe it will be transformational for both companies,” said Don Spence, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Accellent who will now lead Lake Region Medical. “The new Lake Region Medical will have distinctive strengths in the interventional vascular business, and at the same time we expect to continue to grow our Advanced Surgical segment.”

The Fleischhacker family are significant shareholders in the newly combined Company and Joe Fleischhacker is joining the Company’s Board of Directors and will serve on the senior executive team. “I look forward to working with Joe and the Fleischhacker family as we build the new Lake Region Medical and continue the success of both of our businesses,” Don Spence added.

“We are very excited about the future and what the merger of Lake Region’s strength in guide wires and wire based medical devices with Accellent’s strength in catheters will mean for our customers and employees,” said Joe Fleischhacker. “This combination will create a supplier that can offer interventional delivery, access and retrieval systems to complement our customers’ core therapeutic devices. The new Lake Region Medical will also have strong manufacturing capabilities to support our customers’ product needs for components, sub-assemblies and fully assembled devices in both the Cardio &Vascular and Advanced Surgical markets.”

Accellent’s company headquarters in Wilmington, MA will be the new headquarters for Lake Region Medical. Lake Region’s employees and facilities in Chaska, Minnesota, New Ross and Galway, Ireland and Shanghai, China will become part of the global team. Both Don Spence and Joe Fleischhacker stated, “The overall employee and customer feedback has been very positive and both teams are looking forward to a bright future together.”
