The MD&M West Show
World’s Largest Event for
Medical Device Manufacturers
 

mdmwest logo.jpg The MD&M West show held in February, Los Angeles, CA, had record numbers. Medical OEMs crowded the aisles of the world’s largest event for medical device manufacturers -- new advances in materials, components, electronics, machinery, systems and services for the design and manufacture of every type of medical product. The show attracted 2,200 exhibiting companies, with 70% renewal rate for 2010; and an expected $650 million in new orders in 2009. Commenting on the MD&M show, Jeff Walz, Eurotech’s Sales Leader, said, “The show - from the attendance, to the exhibitors to the new devices - was truly remarkable!”
 

It is one of the premier events for the nation’s $146 billion medical manufacturing industry. Spurred by ever-increasing demand from an aging population, the medical manufacturing industry has posted consistent 8% increases for over a decade at profit levels that surpass all other OEM sectors. In particular, the orthopedic and cardiovascular sectors have achieved double-digit growth over the past five years.
