Lake Zurich, Ill.-based contract manufacturer Medical Murray Inc. has opened a new design and development facility in Charlotte, N.C.

“We are excited to move forward with our plans to open a new Charlotte facility, which will allow us to better service our new and existing customers in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic,” said Phillip Leopold, president of Medical Murray. “Similar to both of our Chicago-area facilities, our new Charlotte facility will focus on total customer satisfaction by providing intricate medical solutions at all phases of the design, development, and regulatory process.”

The facility, which is located close to the Charlotte Douglas International Airport to facilitate easy access and transportation of products, will be fully functional by March.

Heading the new 4,000-square-foot operation will be Regional Vice President Tanner Hargens, who will supervise sales, design, and development activities. Hargens’ expertise includes implants, biomaterials, and minimally invasive procedures. Having spent eight years working in medical device engineering, he is also well versed in the commercialization of medical products, patent protection, and regulatory strategizing.

“Our mission is to increase our support of the medical community and the need for highly complex device requirements from concept to production,” said Hargens. “This operation will allow us to further embrace new and existing customers in the southeast and mid-atlantic, and continue to advance the betterment of patient care.”

Medical Murray specializes in the design and contract manufacturing of catheter systems, permanent implants and bioabsorbable technology for less invasive vascular, urologic and surgical applications.
