By April 20, 2020, Ford will be making ventilators at a plant in Detroit, a project that from first call to first product will take less than six weeks. Facilitating that lightning-fast pace was MedWorld Advisors, the firm that connected Airon, a small, Florida-based manufacturer, with two giant, global companies to scale up production.
In days, rather than the typical months-long process, engineers had disassembled units, identified all critical parts, and determined the best ways to produce them en-masse. Airon licensed the design to GE, and Ford is serving as GE Medical's contract manufacturer for the pNeuton model A.
Register today to join GIE Media’s Manufacturing Group in a webinar where MedWorld Advisors who facilitated the partnership to produce the ventilators will discuss insights and the lessons learned from this deal from a manufacturing, medtech, and M&A point of view. Taking place on Wednesday, April 22 from 12-1 pm EDT, this webinar will give attendees the opportunity to hear this story first-hand from the professionals who made this happen.
