In high-precision medical manufacturing, the expectation of quality is understood. In fact, high quality is often taken for granted, even as the variables of expediency and economy are pushed to the limit. Prioritizing cost savings and shorter lead times above all else can lead to all manner of inconsistencies as you cycle through vendors and suppliers in a constant search for the lowest possible price.
Meanwhile, you are failing to build relationships with qualified partners whose pricing and performance you can trust. Over time, those relationships have an inherent value that is far greater than any savings you might realize in the short term from some discount supplier.
“Price is what you pay. Value is what you get.” –Warren Buffet
The High Cost of a Low Price
The bright promise of a short lead time lasts only until that first deadline comes and goes without delivery. Likewise, a discount price seems like a win until the product comes in with a quality issue. Delays, defects, and excuses can quickly compound until that initially appealing discount price becomes quite expensive in the end.
For medical device innovators, the stakes are even higher. An unreliable manufacturing partner can slow down critical launches, disrupt compliance timelines, and ultimately put patient outcomes at risk.
Leading with Value
From the start, MedFab has built its reputation on a customer-first philosophy that emphasizes quality, consistency, and trust. For us, quality isn’t a selling point, it’s the whole point. That commitment to quality is at the core of our longevity. One of our longest-running client collaborations is now in its third decade, with over 1,000 separate releases of parts and never a single quality issue.
A record like that isn’t luck. It is hard-earned over time, resulting from rigorous quality systems, an experienced team, and a culture that prioritizes long-term relationships over short-term wins.
Better Parts through Lasting Partnerships
MedFab maintains the belief that relationships are built on trust, and that trust is earned. We also believe that our own success is merely a reflection of the success we help our customers achieve.
By grounding our pricing and our projections in reality, we gain a reputation as a firm you can trust to deliver as promised. Certainly, we could chase after jobs where price is the driving factor. Sure, we may miss out on jobs solely focused on unit price. Quite often, however, those calls come back to us later, once that customer has discovered the true cost of those discounts and shortcuts.
By aligning our priorities with our customers’ success, we go beyond simply producing parts—we help bring ideas to life, reduce risk, and deliver confidence at every stage of the manufacturing process.
MedFab Is in the Business of Staying in Business.
At MedFab, we know what it costs to build it right. We also know we could attract a lot of business by promising more than we plan to deliver. But how much of that business could we keep? At what cost to our reputation?
“The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten.” –Benjamin Franklin
MedFab builds precision components, but that isn’t all. We also build value. We build trust. And we build success for ourselves and our customers by building relationships that endure. Now, what can MedFab build for you?
