Why Are OEM’s Consolidating with Prent?

 

JANESVILLE, WI—February 1, 2007—“I think there are many reasons medical device maker are turning to Prent.  It’s a testimonial to being the industry leader.  And, it also goes reflects on our commitment to being the supplier-of-choice on all fronts, our progressive strategies and our global capabilities,” according to Jim O’Dierno, Prent’s Senior Vice President of Sales.

 

“We’re seeing more and more customers having a new attitude towards leveraging a single source supplier, rather than cherry picking,” he continues.  “It’s not only happening at Bard, other major global companies are consolidating business with us as well.

 

“Critical to success has been our continuous improvement efforts and lean initiatives.  There’s a lot of systems, processes, technology and new equipment we continually develop and adopt that helps us stay competitive—not only from a pricing standpoint, but through premium service and support. 

 

I believe Prent’s whole approach to monitoring in-process measurement through six sigma, process excellence and statistical process controls has really caught the eye of medical device companies—as well as electronics companies—around the world.

 

Bard put us to the test.  And we’ve grown as a company.  They challenged us, and we have grown to meet that challenge.  As a result, we believe that Prent has now become even more valuable to strategic sourcing decision makers via our ability to meet or exceed the ever growing demands of the markets we serve.”
