The 50-year-old company will participate in conference and exhibit events showcasing next generation medical device manufacturing.

Sanderson MacLeod, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of twisted-wire brushes, will be attending the Medical Design & Manufacturing West 2010 Conference. The MD&M West Conference and Exposition takes place February 8 – 11, 2010 at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Mark Borsari, Sanderson MacLeod’s Vice President, describes the importance of attending this event. “The MD&M West Expo and Conference is a vital component in the facilitation of cutting edge medical product development.” He continues, “Prior to the introduction of any new medical device, product, or technology to hospitals or doctors, all of the components that bring the technology from an idea to an actual product are first showcased at the MD&M convention. Attendees literally witness and are a part of the future of the medical industry. We’re excited to be involved.”

“This year marks a milestone for Sanderson MacLeod and we will be making some significant announcements leading up to the conference.” Borsari added. “We still see increasing demand for domestically produced medical endoscopy brushes, medical cleaning brushes and cytology brushes. And at the same time our green-initiatives and product innovations are moving forward rapidly. We’ve got new technologies to showcase and production methods that will revolutionize the twisted-wire brush industry.”

The eco-friendly movement can now count Sanderson MacLeod among its ranks. The 50-year-old domestically produced twisted-wire brush manufacturing organization can now add “green” to its impressive list of accomplishments.Mark Borsari, Sanderson MacLeod’s Vice President, has seen an increasing importance for large manufacturing firms, like Sanderson MacLeod, to become leaders in finding more sustainable ways to produce goods. “Sanderson MacLeod is one of the largest twisted-wire brush manufacturers in the world and by embracing eco-friendly alternatives in the lifecycle of our manufacturing process; we can have a dramatic impact on the reduction of our ‘carbon footprint’.” Borsari explains, “We are exploring and implementing green options where they make most sense. We’re looking at the entire manufacturing chain and are open to considering a range of options from reducing the power requirements of our plant to using organic, sustainable, biodegradable, or ethically sourced materials.”

“This isn’t a trend,” Borsari continues, “this is the way manufacturing is being done now. It’s responsible. We believe that other manufacturing organizations are beginning to see the value in implementing green alternatives. The end result is a more earth-conscious product.”
