California Company Expands Operations into Mexico

OUTSOURCING NEWS

Tijuana, Mexico, will serve as a second home to device contract manufacturer Medegen (Ontario, CA). The company, which creates components for IV therapy and other devices, has opened a 42,000-sq-ft facility to house its manufacturing operations.

“Expansion of our manufacturing facilities will provide medical companies with high-quality and cost-effective outsourcing,” says Jeff Goble, president of Medegen.

The company expanded to meet anticipated demands of the growing device industry. With the expansion, Medegen can offer customers services from initial product design to delivery of sterile devices. The FDA-registered manufacturing plant has ISO 13485 certification as well as FDA quality system regulation compliance.

Proximity played a role in selection of the site, according to the company. The plant is located less than a mile from the California-Mexico border.

In addition to contract manufacturing, the facility will handle finishedgoods assembly for Medegen's Maximus IV therapy products.
