Vixiar Medical spun out of research at Johns Hopkins. Three years later, the startup will officially be a Baltimore company.

The company is moving its headquarters from Annapolis to City Garage, the Port Covington maker hub set up by Sagamore Ventures. While the company is maintaining an office in the Maryland capital, a half-dozen employees will move to Baltimore, said CEO Kevin Thibodeau.

Vixiar will be taking residence at LaunchPort, the accelerator focused on medical device manufacturing that is set to start coming online later this year. There, the company will be located in the same space as its manufacturing partner, Engineering Medical Systems. That company is also moving to Baltimore, and is set to have a working facility producing commercial products alongside the accelerator known as The Factory in the 10,000 sq. ft. space. That will provide access to “a lot of regulatory and quality control functions that we don’t have to build out on our own,” Thibodeau said.
