NxStage to Begin Manufacturing in Mexico

NxStage Medical, Inc. in Lawrence, MA, which manufactures the System One portable kidney dialysis machine, said it would initiate manufacturing of certain System One products in Fresnillo, Mexico, as part of its ongoing efforts to reduce product costs and optimize operations.

Beginning in May, NxStage will execute a phased relocation of the manufacture of its PureFlow SL disposables and System One cycler to a new facility provided by The Entrada Group in Fresnillo. NxStage also plans to use the facility to manufacture other System One components, including PureFlow SL hardware.

The Entrada Group is a Texas-based provider of manufacturing facilities and contract services for companies seeking production capacity in Mexico. The new facility being constructed by Entrada will be designed to meet FDA quality system regulations.
