Strategic Investments, Operational Advancements, & Customer Successes Position MRPC for Continued Expansion in 2026
MRPC, a leading medical device contract manufacturer, ended 2025 with continued momentum across strategic growth initiatives, operational investments, and customer program development. Throughout the year, the company advanced its long-term vision by strengthening partnerships, expanding internal capabilities, and supporting complex medical device programs that will transition into production in 2026.
A defining milestone in 2025 was MRPC’s strategic partnership with Vance Street Capital, announced in October. The partnership provides MRPC with additional financial resources to support larger capital and equipment investments, pursue acquisition opportunities, and expand access to potential new customer relationships within the medical device industry. Together, the partnership positions MRPC to accelerate growth while maintaining its focus on engineering excellence, quality, and customer collaboration.
“Our 2025 achievements reflect a deliberate commitment to building a stronger, more scalable organization,” said Greg Riemer, President & CEO of MRPC. “The partnership with Vance Street Capital supports our long-term strategy and gives us the resources to invest meaningfully in our people, our infrastructure, and the technologies that elevate the value we deliver to customers.”
Throughout the year, MRPC also continued to advance its use of automation across manufacturing operations, further strengthening operational efficiency, scalability, and process consistency. Automation investments have enabled the validation of more robust and repeatable processes while delivering cost-reduction advantages to customers. By leveraging automation across our operations, MRPC is scaling programs with increasing demand without relying solely on incremental labor—allowing capacity to grow in parallel with customer needs while reinforcing long-term operational stability.
MRPC’s customer programs in 2025 further demonstrated the company’s engineering-forward approach and its ability to support complex development challenges. In one handheld surgical device component program, MRPC partnered closely with the customer to overcome incumbent supplier quality issues, mitigate risks tied to tooling qualification, and accelerate multiple critical activities including gauge R&R activities, fixture development, and pad-printing operations. By initiating work using preliminary samples and proactively reviewing existing customer concerns and challenges, MRPC advanced the project timeline while maintaining alignment with customer expectations.
In a separate surgical device initiative, MRPC supported the customer through a complex material transition. MRPC identified serious risks associated with the specified materials that presented manufacturability, shelf-life, and long-term supply concerns. Through early Design for Manufacturability (DFM) engagement, MRPC evaluated alternative materials, aligned with the customer on a previously qualified option, and coordinated directly with the material supplier to validate the updated formulation. This approach improved process stability, reduced risk, and protected the program timeline. Both programs are expected to launch into production during 2026.
Building on the progress achieved in 2025, MRPC is preparing for another year of investment and expansion. Planned 2026 initiatives include the purchase of new molding machines, facility improvements, and building out a new cleanroom at the Butler, Wisconsin facility to support upcoming production programs and evolving customer requirements.
“Looking ahead, 2026 will be a year of continued investment and execution,” Riemer added. “We’re enhancing our facilities, increasing capacity, and further strengthening our technical capabilities to support both existing and new customer programs. Our focus remains on scalable growth—growth that reinforces our reputation as a trusted manufacturing partner and creates long-term opportunity for our employees, our customers, and our communities.”
As MRPC grows, so does its commitment to the people who make that growth possible. At the close of the year, the company hosted annual holiday celebrations at all three facilities, where employees were recognized with holiday bonuses in appreciation of their contributions throughout 2025.
