Once again, I find myself wandering the many halls of the Medica and CompaMed trade events. Between checking out the latest and greatest from the medtech elite, discovering new firms displaying their first products at the show, or catching up with those I’ve met before, I took a moment to reach out to representatives at several companies exhibiting at the medical device gathering this year. Hopefully, these questions provide useful information for anyone unable to meet with them at the event or those who are not headed to Germany this year. With that in mind, Tom Travia, director of business development at Tridex Technology Ltd., shared the following insights to help you determine if the firm is a potential services partner for you in 2020 or beyond.
Sean Fenske: What technology or service are you emphasizing at Medica/CompaMed this year?
Tom Travia: Burr-free tube cutoff and needle grinding.
Fenske: What’s the most common challenge customers inquire about and how do you address it?
Travia: Deburring after cutting or grinding. Our technology doesn’t create any burrs when cutting so we offer a solution unlike conventional machining techniques.
Fenske: If you could give one piece of advice to companies seeking a manufacturing partner before they make a decision, what would it be?
Travia: Be sure the supplier is there after the sale to provide the support that will be required.
Fenske: What are the forces driving medical device manufacturers to seek your technology/services over doing it in-house?
Travia: We help OEMs and medical device subcontractors reduce costs.
Fenske: In what ways is your company able to aid in getting a product (project) to market faster?
Travia: We work with many companies at the design and prototype level to help them have a viable manufacturing process ready for launch.
Tridex Technology Ltd. is located at Medica/Compamed in Hall 8B, Booth/Stand E31-4.
