Molex, LLC brought its expertise and range of solutions for the medical industry to MD&M West, Feb. 9-11. Through its ongoing investment in R&D as well as its strategic acquisitions and partnerships, Molex has built an extensive portfolio of solutions that medical original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) can integrate into their healthcare devices in diagnostic, therapeutic and patient monitoring applications.
 
“Today’s life-saving healthcare devices feature increasingly sophisticated capabilities that require equally sophisticated electronics to reliably and cost-effectively transmit data, signals, images and power,” said Anthony Kalaijakis, strategic medical marketing manager, Molex.
 
Recently, Molex expanded its reach in the medical field with two key acquisitions: ProTek Medical Ltd., a contract engineering design and manufacturing firm that specializes in supplying custom solutions for medical device manufacturers in the global medical industry and certain assets of Soligie, Inc., a developer of flexible printed electronic solutions used in several industries, including medical applications such as diagnostics, EKG leads, surgical equipment/devices and wearable sensors. Other acquisitions that have contributed to the company’s expansion of its medical business include Polymicro Technologies, Temp-Flex Specialty Wire and Cable, Affinity Medical Technologies and FCT Electronics Group.
