2003 MDEA Suppliers

Originally Published MX July/August 2003

MDEA WINNERS

Each year, winners in the Medical Design Excellence Awards (MDEA) competition share credit for their achievements with dozens of outsourcing firms with specialties as wide ranging as raw materials supply, product design and prototyping services, and finished assembly and packaging.

The MDEA competition also acknowledges such named suppliers through a special program designed especially to honor the many supplier companies that contribute to MDEA-winning products. Such suppliers earn the exclusive right to use and display the special MDEA supplier logo in their promotional materials and exhibit booths.

In an era when outsourcing is a key business strategy for medtech executives, the MDEA supplier logo is more than a mere symbol. By watching for the logo in company advertising and at trade shows, those on the hunt for extramural expertise can be sure that they're talking with firms that have had experience working with medical device manufacturers. And with an award-winning connection, they can also know that the supplier can be an asset to their own product development team.
