Looking for domestic solutions to your medical device fabrication?
Consulting and Contract Fabrication
Consulting and Medical Device Contract Manufacturing
Our extensive knowledge across the full spectrum of laminated solution technologies gives us the experience to diagnose and address the parameters surrounding the new product development process. Moreover, we can quickly design and build custom solutions and equipment to address unique needs using small-scale rapid prototype development in our testing labs and prototyping labs.
Once we’ve helped you develop the product of your vision, we can assist you with a wide range of medical device contract manufacturing services from component assembly, semi-finished product ready to go into your final assembly, to finished and packaged product ready for your distribution chain.
Reshoring of Supply Chain
Reshoring of Supply Chain
Although we are a global company across three major continents, we have the majority of our production facilities in the United States and North America. If you are looking to reduce your dependence on distant factories, long transportation voyages, port delays and high transportation costs, we’re here to help.
We have North American facilities dedicated to medical device fabrication component materials and assembly production. And we have developed a supply chain based on local and trusted sources that have been vetted over years of integration into our production.
Shorter supply chain, longer trust.
Custom Materials Design
Custom Materials Design
Our customers succeed when their products tell a rich and compelling story to the market. Shawmut materials combine functionality with design to help tell that story.
By reputation, people think about us whenever they are looking for a solution to a complex materials problem. We create materials that don’t exist today, to create a better tomorrow for our customers and their customers.
We understand evolving technology and design trends. We work closely with our medical device fabrication customers to translate those insights into custom materials with the appearance, texture, and functionality that supports our customer’s design vision.
Whether it’s a moldable, recyclable vegan suede with the perfect texture and a custom surface embossing, or a breathable, autoclavable viral barrier with a sleek technical look, Shawmut brings complex design visions to life.
