UL (Underwriters Laboratories), a manufacturing safety and compliance services company located in Northbrook, Ill., is relocating its Minnesota operations to accommodate expansion of services offered to the medical and high tech industries.
UL is relocating from its current location in Vadnais Heights to Mounds View in order to expand on its existing high-tech and medical safety engineering and testing services. The company will now offer local human factors engineering services, home healthcare, and access to comprehensive services to support medical and in vitro diagnostics manufacturers with regulatory submissions in global markets.
“Minnesota has one of the most active and innovative medical device clusters in the nation and we are pleased to be able to place some of our top talent to support this area locally,” said Joe Madden, global sales director for UL’s Health Sciences Division. “Now manufacturers have local access to the full product lifecycle services UL provides to support challenges that manufacturers face when trying to get their approvals.”
Last year UL acquired Wiklund R&D located in Concord, Mass., bringing in human factors engineering expertise for medical and other devices. The new office in Mounds View, Minn. will be the first major expansion of that service within North America.
