Expertly designed and rapidly engineered
solutions tailored to your applications
In an increasingly competitive landscape, relationships with reliable expert
partners become critical for your success.
There is no room for error when working
with human health
When working in medical or analytical applications, the highest levels of accuracy, reliability and purity are demanded. Every action influences human health and therefore must be supported by the industry’s highest standards and leading innovations. This is not only critical for healthcare professionals, but also for devices supporting their daily work.
Each decision made on individual medical components has long-term effects on system efficiencies, useful analyses and patient care. It is clear that better technologies, deeper expertise and a stronger commitment to value-creating solutions guarantees a market advantage.
Need for more advanced technologies. Your peers and
customers are considering what’s next – 2,400 patent
applications in 2016 in Europe were related to medical
technology industry – representing more than any other
sector in Europe and showing the innovative and high-tech
spirit.
Need for expert partners. Medical technology
engineering costs ~$120/hour on average, and
design iterations can become expensive.
Experienced development partners and reliable
suppliers can help you reduce costs.
Need for more than products – with the new Medical
Device Regulation (MDR) in Europe, knowledgeable
suppliers become important to support your regulatory
requirements. Many suppliers step back from such
challenges.
