CAZENOVIA — Marquardt, an electro-mechanical component designer and manufacturer in the Cazenovia area, recently announced it has added contract manufacturing to its portfolio of services.
Marquardt said that during the pandemic, it was one of the many manufacturers that joined the effort to fulfill “a dire need for medical equipment” by producing personal protective equipment (PPE) and medical machinery. After expanding its services, Marquardt said it realized its ability to support other local manufacturers and decided to move into the contract-manufacturing space.
At the start of the pandemic, Marquardt assisted major manufacturers and local hospitals by addressing the “urgent demand” for ventilator and oxygen concentrator switches, as well as hose connectors for PPE, the firm said in a release.
After that, Marquardt said it immediately began searching for new ways to share its development and manufacturing competencies with nearby companies looking to expand their tools, resources, and capacities.
The company is offering product-development support, product testing, assembly and testing-equipment realization, injection molding, electronic production, assembly production, and lifecycle/supply-chain support. That’s in addition to a full staff of passionate design, validation, and industrial engineers, as well as equipment-maintenance technicians.
Marquardt said it will continue contracting its services, even long after the pandemic.
“Our hope is to continue sharing our experiences with our partners, so that costly lessons learned are behind them before they even start,” Chris Berry, global sales manager, said in the release.
