Medical Device experts are taking note: Sterling Industries was recently named to Medtech Outlook magazine’s “Top 10 medical contract manufacturers” list for 2021. After surveying the competitive sector of medical device contract manufacturers, the editorial staff honed in on the industry’s elite providers and concluded that Sterling Industries stood out for its system-oriented, approach to delivering repeatable quality for its top-tier clients. Moreover, our organization’s focus on providing vertically-integrated, turnkey solutions for our clients was noted as a critical differentiator: from securing the supply chain to final packaging, our clients entrust us to take care of every detail and solve their challenges.

MedTech Outlook magazine was particularly impressed with Sterling’s ability to provide end-to-end value, through our vertical integration, managing the entire process, including the supply chain, manufacturing, assembly, testing, labelling, packaging and shipping.

Another quality of Sterling’s that impressed MedTech Outlook’s editors is the range of clients we serve, from Fortune 100 OEMs to mid-size medical device companies to fast-growing scale-ups.

It’s Great to be Recognized

We are excited to be singled out within the industry, although we have known for quite a while that our end-to-end, full-service approach is what attracts great projects and top clients to Sterling. The magazine interviewed CEO, David Van Slingerland to better understand our value proposition and the firm’s rapid growth in recent years. Van Slingerland pointed out that Sterling has been adapting to changes in the market, such as growing interest in single-use products. Moreover, the company has continually re-invested, constantly adding and upgrading its manufacturing capabilities, such as Class 7 Clean Rooms and advanced automation.

Another unique advantage of Sterling’s approach noted in the magazine’s profile is our flexibility to serve a broad range of clients and markets, with facilities in both the U.S. and Canada. “From a geographic perspective, we already deal with customers all over the world. We are also planning to establish a physical facility in the EU, on top of our facilities in Canada and the US,” added Van Slingerland.
