Vantage MedTech Introduction

Vantage MedTech (or VMT) is a full-service outsourced manufacturer of Class II and Class III electro-mechanical capital equipment to the medical device industry. VMT has a record of growth and an outstanding reputation with its customers based upon its leading technical capabilities, high-quality standards, on-time performance, and customer service. VMT’s capabilities cover the complete spectrum of the medical device manufacturing product life cycle, from conceptual design, engineering, prototype development, and regulatory support through manufacturing and after-market services. VMT serves a variety of leading medical device original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and emerging innovators (EIs) with a portfolio of advanced medical devices, and it enjoys high retention rates and revenue visibility over multiple years. With its full suite of design and manufacturing capabilities and focus on all aspects of customer service, VMT positions itself not just as a supplier but as a true value-added partner to its OEM customers.

The medical device outsourcing industry is poised for solid growth in the coming years. VMT is expected to benefit from both an increased worldwide demand for medical devices and a continued shift in manufacturing and support services toward third-party contract providers. Medical device OEMs are increasing their use of outsourcing as they search for ways to lower costs while improving product design and development processes, production efficiencies, and time to market.

Ampersand Capital Partners (or ACP) made a growth equity investment in Sterling Medical Devices in June 2022, and in February 2023 announced its recapitalization and simultaneous merger with RBC Medical Innovations and rebranded the Company as Vantage MedTech.
