Device Manufacturing
Freudenberg Medical specializes in end-to-end device manufacturing across four integrated global sites: Carrick-on-Shannon in Ireland, Jeffersonville in Indiana and Minnetonka in Minnesota–both in the US, and Coyol in Costa Rica. Each location brings distinct strengths to deliver high-performance catheter-based and minimally invasive devices.
Together, these sites offer deep expertise in complex catheter and balloon development, handle design, thermoplastic extrusion and molding, rapid prototyping, and full-scale device assembly, packaging, and validation. From early-stage concepting to final manufacturing and lifecycle support, our vertically integrated approach ensures speed, quality, and reliability throughout the entire product journey.
