The beginning.
Established in 1978 by a visionary Chief Engineer, Tom Dambach, from Marquette Electronics, MPE Inc. began its journey as a precision metal fabricator serving the medical and electrical sectors in Wisconsin.
Recognizing a need within the MedTech industry in 1985, our pioneering leaders and initial investors decided to shift gears and build out MPE Inc. to become the premier mobility solutions manufacturer.
Our initial growth.
In 1985, our journey commenced by fostering strategic alliances with leading MedTech original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), and working with them to develop mobility solutions that met end-user needs. All while leaning into our legacy manufacturing background to enhance operational efficiency, reduce waste, and optimize our client’s total cost of ownership.
With these efforts and the use of effective, learned lean manufacturing practices, we built our reputations within the MedTech space by delivering high-quality capital medical equipment on time, on budget, and fit to end-user needs.
Embracing industry shifts and meeting the needs and standards of our clients, MPE Inc. evolved further to achieve accreditation as an ISO 13485:2016 and ISO 9001:2015 certified company in 1999 and 2015, respectively.
Our continued evolution.
Seeing further needs and gaps in the legacy, the siloed process of bringing a medical device to market, in 2014, MPE Inc. underwent further evolution.
With visionary leadership, our organization began its transformation from a provider of mobility solutions into the only capital medical equipment commercialization platform that can support a medical device from initial design through to successful market launch.
Today.
Our holistic pathway to commercialization unifies compliance, differentiation, and adoption readiness, expediting time-to-market and mitigating inherent risks. Our organization is one of a kind and purpose-built on a foundation of over 40 years of capital medical equipment development and manufacturing.
Beyond traditional manufacturing, our operations now encompass inventory management, 3PL shipping, and comprehensive life-cycle support services. These capabilities have proven pivotal in catapulting our clients’ products to success and providing one unified partnership that can guide and support their products through every stage of their journey.
Together, we are on a mission to set a new standard for what it means to be a design, development, and manufacturing partner in the MedTech industry.
All without losing sight of where our journey started in 1978.
