Why U.S.-Based Contract Manufacturing Partners Matter More Than Ever

Why Is U.S. Manufacturing So Important?

Global supply chains have always been vulnerable to disruption, but over the past few years, we’ve seen just how fragile overseas manufacturing can be. For medical companies, the stakes can be especially high. Long lead times, unpredictable tariffs, and limited control over quality and compliance create major risks. That’s why many OEMs and medical device brands are reshoring production — and why Janco Medical is proud to serve as a reliable U.S.-based alternative.

As a cleanroom-capable manufacturer with over 60 years of experience in medical contract manufacturing, Janco helps clients navigate global challenges without compromising on quality, speed, or compliance.

A Controlled, Compliant Medical Manufacturing Process

From sterility to structural integrity, every aspect of your packaging or device component must meet exacting standards. That’s why Janco operates ISO Class 7 and Class 8 certified cleanrooms, with processes built to meet FDA and ISO 13485 standards.

Our team specializes in:

• Medical-grade thermoforming
• RF welding and sealing
• Die-cut and laminated foam packaging
• Device and tray assembly

Whether you’re launching a new device or improving an existing product line, we have the infrastructure and experience to bring it to life with confidence, while also finding ways to add value at every step.

Offshore Manufacturing in The Medical Industry

For years, outsourcing overseas was seen as a cost-saving move, but shipping costs, longer customs delays, and unpredictable trade regulations have drastically changed those margins. Now, outsourcing your contract manufacturing can put product launches and resupplies at risk.

By keeping production in the U.S., you avoid:

• Unexpected tariff hikes
• Shipping slowdowns or port congestion
• Quality control issues that require costly rework
• Communication barriers and time zone lags

And when you’re manufacturing something as critical as a sterile medical tray or diagnostic housing, those risks just aren’t worth it.

A Partnership Built for Precision and Speed

Our team works closely with yours from early design through prototyping and full-scale production, ensuring every part of the process aligns with your goals and your regulatory needs. At every step, our team of experts looks for ways to add value to your project.

That hands-on approach means:

• Faster turnarounds and fewer revisions
• Built-in compliance expertise
• Consistent communication with a dedicated point of contact
• Future-Proofing Your Medical Supply Chain

Reshoring your manufacturing with a partner like Janco gives you the ability to scale more predictably, respond to market changes quickly, and eliminate many of the common headaches tied to international suppliers.

It also sends a message to your customers, investors, and regulatory partners that you take quality, traceability, and control seriously.
