Medical Device Manufacturing in Grand Rapids

Grand Rapids is home to some of the most advanced healthcare, research, education and manufacturing facilities in the Midwest.

Our medical device manufacturing industry is grounded in the region’s rich manufacturing heritage. Grand Rapids is home to one of the nation’s largest and most diverse manufacturing sectors, compelling The Economist to call it “the most successful intensive manufacturing  city in America.”

The local industry is also driven by a unique level of collaboration between medical manufacturers, academic institutions and healthcare delivery systems. For example, downtown GR’s Innovation Park, home to the Michigan State University Grand Rapids Research Center and Doug Meijer Medical Innovation Building, is a collaborative health innovation hub for biomedical research, bioengineering and health technology. Industry partners come together here to solve common problems, capitalize on existing opportunities, create new companies and innovate at scale.

Another example of local industry collaboration is MiDevice, the only Michigan-based organization devoted to medical device design, development, manufacturing and distribution. This consortium works to speed the growth and development of medical devices by emphasizing and encouraging collaboration around core competencies, creating opportunities to leverage these competencies, and evolving the region’s medical device industry into a national recognized medical device cluster. A few of MiDevice’s 25+ members are profiled below.
