About

Anuva is a “Design to Distribution” family of businesses that started in
2008 with the launch of Anuva Services in Morrisville, NC. Anuva Services, a
Carolinas Minority Supplier Development Council-certified minority business,
began by providing world-class after-market and logistic services to customers.
Despite launching during a challenging economic environment, Anuva experienced
tremendous start-up growth and tripled the space of the facility. Three years
later, Anuva further expanded by acquiring a contract manufacturing operation
whose roots date back to the Dictaphone operation in Melbourne, FL. In 2011,
Anuva Founder Vinu Patel launched Anuva Manufacturing Services and relocated
the headquarters to a new facility in Melbourne. Both Anuva Services and Anuva
Manufacturing Services adhere to the industry IPC-A-610 and related standards.
In 2012, Anuva expanded once again by launching a sister company, Anuva
Resource Solutions (www.anuvaresource.com). Anuva Resource Solutions was created because our customers needed help
growing their businesses by hiring talented people. Specializing in small to
midsize companies, Anuva Resource Solutions handles each employment opportunity
with the highest integrity and dedicated, personal attention. In 2013, Anuva
continued to expand by developing a strong partnership with TriE Medical Inc. The

to provide a total solution for our clients and employ domestically while
