The 2010 MD&M show was held, again, at the Anaheim Convention Center in Southern California.  We had a great team working the show this year!  Thank you to our existing clients who stopped by to say “hello” and reconnect!  It is always nice to see your faces. We met many potential new clients, as well. 

The first day was full of seminars given by high-profile medical device industry professionals and the industry’s best trainers.  Days 2, 3 & 4 were spent walking the show, getting insight into the Medical Design and Packaging world, and answering a wide variety of questions from our booth guests.

The after-show hours were spent at hosted networking events, where we mingled with current clients and met new people in the industry.  The WESTPAK team was six-strong and thoroughly enjoyed the knowledge and information obtained from the show. 

Doing business with us means you get accurate and reliable test information that gives you competitive advantage over your competitors. With Westpak, you will know what it takes to get your packaged product to your customers in an acceptable condition. If you didn't get a chance to stop by, give us a call, we'd love to hear from youl!

Thank you for visiting us.

This year, the Healthpack conference was held at the Peabody Hotel in Memphis, Tennessee.  It was yet another fine and informative Healthpack experience.  The turnout to this year’s event was approximately 300 people.  There were also 45 exhibiters this year, including Westpak™.  The topics that were presented were educational and beneficial to professionals in all medical device industries, and the entire event was also ideal for networking.  The seminar portion of the conference consisted of fifteen presentations throughout two days.  There was a good range of presentations (picking the right materials, using efficient equipment, discussing patent/design issues, studying standards and new test methods, receiving feedback from the end users of the package systems, etc).
                                                                                                        
One of the enjoyable events at Healthpack included a tour of the FedEx Main Distribution Hub.  The FedEx facility was certainly a sight to see.  The grand scale of everything is amazing, and the tour was during the day (the hub is twice as busy during the night).

Seven of us from the Westpak™ team attended Healthpack, and we were each able to see firsthand the latest trends and innovations in the medical device packaging industry.  All in all, we had a great time and even had the opportunity to say hello to the King himself…. “Thank you…ah thank you very much!”
