a commercial office . Mark reveals the strategy behind the move : “ Our facility in Madison allows increased access and interaction with our increasing US-based customers – about 50 percent of our revenue is generated from customers based in the US . Having a commercial office and laboratory facilities in Madison allows us to develop and manufacture nearer to the customer base and allows us to participate in US grant-funded projects .”
Growth potential
The US is the largest medical device market in the world , making up 40 percent of the global MedTech market and comprising over 6,500 MedTech companies . Abingdon Health has built a portfolio of valued US customers across its various service solutions and believes there is a significant opportunity to expand its US customer base .
Being a CDMO means manufacturing processes can often be more complicated ; this makes the impact of smart factory technologies more significant . Mark goes on to explain how Abingdon Health benefits : “ We use a mix of inline sensors and data collection techniques to help guide our decision making regarding our production outputs . Being a contract manufacturing company adds its own complexities to our processes as although we produce lateral flow tests , each customer ’ s product has their own innovations and complexities requiring different solutions . This can range from assembly of different types of plastic devices with different measurable outputs to different reagent vial sizes and seals needing bespoke seal temperatures and dwell times . We use automated equipment as much as we can in our process from dispensing reagents through to the sealing of product into foil devices .
