For Medical Equipment Manufacturers,
R&D, Innovation and Speed-to-Market are Critical

Are you:

• Concerned about the quality and reliability of sensitive medical equipment produced offshore (and the lack of FDA monitoring in unregulated areas)?

• Attempting to keep your intellectual property (e.g., patents, designs, trade secrets) secure?

• Considering alternative materials to ensure your medical instrument can withstand heat and moisture?

• Developing a miniature medical device to increase user comfort and decrease visibility?

• Seeking to reduce the weight of your portable equipment?

At HARBEC, we understand that, in order to remain competitive in the health care market, you must keep up with rapidly changing technological and scientific advances.

Parts (e.g., switches, implantable micro-devices) are becoming miniaturized. Stationary products are now portable. Buyers are increasingly more cost-conscious. And the industry at large is being driven to meet ever increasing demands related to quality, reliability, shorter development cycles and product lifecycles.

In the medical equipment market, the strength of your R&D efforts is your competitive differentiation. The ability to solve new diagnostic and treatment challenges is critical.

When you’re dealing with life-sustaining or life-enhancing products, it’s critically important that they be manufactured to rigid specifications.

At HARBEC, we understand that state-of-the-art processes and attention to detail are requirements to do business with you. We are ISO 9001–2000, ISO 14001 and QMS 9000 certified and we take these certifications seriously. We understand FDA GMP requirements and can ensure compliance.

HARBEC is clean-room capable. With machines that are 100% electric, the hardest part is done.

We have the ability to work with many different resins including the unique, high-temperature, and highly filled materials that are required for numerous applications. And no part is too small. We have never encountered a small part that was unmoldable. We have a new micromolding machine that is fully nano-capable.

HARBEC also offers Quick Manufacturing Solutions – our proprietary method of supplying customers with high quality, short- to medium-run plastic parts of any material, and any design, in a reduced time frame. At HARBEC, we have a strong desire and willingness to work with untried tools, technology, processes, materials, etc. We can explore, on your behalf, optimal solutions for lighter, stronger, miniaturized, complex, intricate and mission-critical components.

Last but not least, HARBEC is the perfect choice for the healthcare market where information control is of the utmost importance. We keep all of our records under tight security, can easily provide restricted access to select areas of our facility, and we’re more than prepared to answer tough questions about our quality systems and manufacturing procedures.
