KCO’s Investment Journey in NextPhase
The journey of NextPhase’s growth began in 2015 when KCO initiated its investment in the company through a control investment in Nexcore Technology. Founded by Milton Frank in 1999, Nexcore Technology initially focused on manufacturing complex electromechanical medical devices for medical OEMs.
Following the completion of the initial platform acquisition, KCO strategically appointed Carlo Colesanti as NextPhase’s CEO and James DiVizio as CFO, paving the way for a transformational phase in the company’s history. Over the years, KCO made significant investments and enhancements to the initial platform, augmenting people, processes, and infrastructure for improved capabilities.

With a customer-centric approach, NextPhase swiftly established itself as a trusted partner to leading and emerging medical device OEMs, expanding its market presence significantly.
Enhancing Capabilities through Strategic Acquisition
In 2021, NextPhase reached another milestone by acquiring Proven Process Medical Devices. This strategic move aimed to further enhance the company’s design and engineering capabilities and acquire specific manufacturing expertise in areas like implantable devices. The acquisition bolstered NextPhase’s ability to cater to diverse customer needs and solidified its position as a leader in the medical device contract manufacturing sector.
