CMI works together with a variety of companies and researchers utilizing 1, 2 or all 3 of our core competencies (Manufacturing, R&D and Regulatory Guidance and Approvals).

There are 3 types of customers we work with:

Independent or University-Based Researchers
Due to the recent large-scale consolidation within the medical device industry and the demands on larger companies to grow at rapid rates, companies rarely invest into research of new ideas and patents. Instead, these large companies would rather wait on a new idea and pay much more for it once it is proven and approved. This leaves the small researcher without an avenue to turn his/her ideas into reality.

CMI offers the researcher and inventor the ability to take his/her idea through the concept phase, past all the regulatory hurdles and onto the market. By using CMI’s staff, our clients can create a “virtual company”. We can make prototypes, clinical quality samples, high or low volume production runs and with our regulatory guidance and distribution network, we can get our clients to the stage where they can better sell their idea or raise capital to expand their “own company”. Our clients value our flexibility and concentration on their ideas and our proven track record of bringing ideas “From Concept Through Clinicals”?. See the Projects tab for examples of projects.

Start-Up / Small Companies
In these difficult financial time, those small companies that have been lucky enough to be funded are under extreme time and financial pressure to get their products on the market. CMI’s proven development track record, fully certified manufacturing facilities and regulatory guidance has helped these companies by reducing their staffing costs and decreasing their time to market.

CMI allows our clients to rapidly expand with minimal expense and time. They use CMI to meet all their staffing and manufacturing needs while they grow their expertise internally.

Established Companies
For the established company, CMI offers access to high quality, ISO and FDA certified manufacturing and development facilities in Germany and the Czech Republic. With the help of our regulatory specialists and our central location in Europe, US companies can gain access to new European markets. For European companies looking to enter the US market, our FDA regulatory specialists and FDA registered facilities give you the resources you need to enter this very large market.
