Global Company with Local HQ Talks About Medical Device Manufacturing in Buffalo Niagara
| |
 Founded over sixty years ago, Moog began as a designer and manufacturer of components for the aerospace industry.
Today, an important area of Moog's business is its Medical Devices group. Its goal is to bring an unmatched combination of focus and breadth of expertise to a range of medical device technologies that will simplify processes, increase safety, and enhance patient & caregiver outcomes.
I recently had the opportunity to speak with the President of Moog's Medical Devices Group, Marty Berardi, to get his perspective on the medical device and life sciences industry in Buffalo Niagara. Here's what he had to say:
Q. What collaboration work, if any do you (Moog) participate in with other local institutions or companies? A. We are still looking for the perfect fit, but we are deeply involved in the areas of education at the University and will continue to look for the other company relationships that nest well with our device technologies.
Q. What do you think are Buffalo Niagara's greatest strengths & assets, particularly as they relate to the Medical Devices industry?
