From Concept to Market in 8 Months

In the dynamic world of manufacturing, the journey from concept to market can be a complex maze. We had the pleasure of sitting down with Steven Roy from Convergence Medical, who shared their experience in bringing their innovative concept to life with Medbio. Here’s a glimpse into their journey.

No intention of being a manufacturer: Steve had no plans to delve into manufacturing. Convergence had engaged with a different contract manufacturer but faced challenges meeting the stringent standards required for the Canadian market.

The Injection Molding Quest: Understanding the need for efficient quality production, Convergence reached out to 15 injection molding companies. Surprisingly, only a third responded, emphasizing the industry’s unresponsiveness. Medbio stood out immediately with a prompt reply.
Thoroughness and Quality: What set Medbio apart was not just their responsiveness but also their thoroughness, quality, and reasonable pricing. Discussions were marked by a level of professionalism that indicated a genuine understanding of Convergence’s needs.

Partnership in the Making: From the beginning, Greg, a key figure at Medbio, demonstrated a commitment to understanding Convergence’s vision. Recognizing the need for expert insights, Greg promptly brought in a materials expert to address questions and alleviate concerns, setting the tone for a productive partnership.

Efficiency and Responsiveness: One of the critical challenges highlighted was the industry’s general lack of responsiveness and a tendency to work too slowly. Greg and the Medbio team, in contrast, ensured a streamlined process to market, keeping the momentum alive and significantly contributing to turning the idea into a licensable product in just eight months.

In a landscape where efficiency, responsiveness, and collaboration are rare finds, Convergence found a dedicated ally in Medbio. Their story stands as a testament to the power of partnership and effective manufacturing in bringing innovations to life.
