DDI
Engineering's new medical division, DuPeron Medical Systems, announced success
in obtaining new customers in the medical industry. DDI has developed a
prospective client list and is in the process of bidding on other projects, which will
have the effect of diversifying its customer base even further.
DDI's first two medical device customers were in need of mechanical
designs for their new products. One of the companies develops innovative
spinal implants, and the other company was seeking assistance in the
design and prototyping of an invention that would reduce I.V. infusion
medication errors.
DDI Engineering
has been providing industrial OEMs with design expertise, quick
prototyping capability and finite element analyses
for over 20 years. The company's expertise in mechanical design in
particular is being leveraged to penetrate the medical industry, and DDI
has put in place all the systems to service this industry, including the
FDA-required quality systems.
"We are excited that we were able to show
our strong design competencies and that our creativity could be
leveraged in the medical devices field," said Steve Duperon, DDI
Engineering's president. "We are thankful to the local and state
economic development organizations for their help in finding us the
assistance that we needed."
Saginaw Future Inc. facilitated initial meetings between the high-growth strategy firm CJPS
Enterprises and DDI Engineering in order to develop its medical device
line. CJPS is known for its speed and results
orientation, and its mission for that region was to provide assistance
to local businesses to diversify into the medical industry.
This assistance was also made possible through the 21st Century Jobs
Fund Life Sciences Pipeline, managed by the Michigan Economic
Development Corporation (MEDC) and the state of Michigan through one of
Governor Jennifer Granholm's growth initiatives. This contract tasks
CJPS Enterprises, LLC, to help Michigan companies grow profitable
business in the life sciences. |
