Scanfil SMART “Our answer to the changing
world is Scanfil SMART,” says Creutz. “We consistently seek new ways to develop our opera- tions and efficiency. SMART en- ables us to meet future demands and beyond.” Scanfil SMART ensures a
connected, transparent, proac- tive, and optimized end-to-end supply chain operation. These tasks are performed in conjunc- tion with state-of-the-art equip- ment and technology perform- ance management and support, which enables speed, flexibility, reliability, on-time delivery, and cost efficiency. A company’s needs often de-
pend on its size. Smaller compa- nies or startups desire compe- tence and support in the certifi- cation process and a solid, expe- rienced, and established partner for help with manufacturing processes. For them, it’s important to build an interface and solid relationship and have a good thread out to the market. Mid-size and
large
companies seek a contract manufacturer as a production re- source to balance their own pro- duction with that of the contract manufacturer.
For these
companies, the types of prod- uction facilities, standardiza- tion, and need for competence are more important than specific product introduction and regulation knowledge. Collab with Jolife
Scanfil’s journey with Jolife,
a part of Stryker, which started more than 20 years ago as the start-up company Jolife AB, lo- cated in Lund, Sweden, is a good example of a manufacturing re- lationship. The company devel- oped and launched the LUCAS chest compression system, which redefined emergency care and helped save lives. As a startup company em-barking on new product introduc-tion, Jolife needed a manufactur-ing partner to help meet the vast array of global rules and regulato-ry standards, such as those for Japan, Brazil, Korea, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, and a way to competitively enter the medtech market. Scanfil han-dled system integration, supply
chain
management, value engi- neering, and distribution. As a
long-term medtech
manufactur-ing partner, Scanfil had processes for supply chain management in place. Jolife could take advantage of Scanfil’s extensive procurement portfolio of high-quality parts specified for medical devices and its established suppliers without going through the extensive sur-veillance and audits. Scanfil built

an interface and responsibility matrix so there was constant com- munication, visibility, trans- parency, flexibility, reliability, and accountability throughout the process. The partnership has contin-
ued. The LUCAS system is now in its third generation. Sara Lin- droth, managing director of Jo- life AB, a part of Stryker, says, “During our partnership over the last two decades, we have suc- cessfully passed many audits by regulatory authorities, have seen steady growth of sold units on a global market, and together with Scanfil, we have been able to
continuously lower the cost of the products. These factors cre- ate a win-win situation.”
Global Support Scanfil’s global medtech ca-
pabilities enable quick and sta- ble transfer of products from the customer to Scanfil while local Scanfil operations work in paral- lel to design product upgrades, deliver sustainability engineer- ing for obsolete components, and often improve the supply chain with lower cost or more optimum lead-time suppliers. “Scanfil’s factory near At- lanta, Georgia, which is also cer-

tified to ISO-13485, has onboard- ed several customers and prod- ucts in the medtech space, such as centrifuges and air purifiers, which resulted in removing the burden from our customers’ manufacturing capacity,” ex- plains Jaron Cherry, director of sales for Scanfil North America. “The factory has a staff of
over 300 operating in a 126,000 square foot facility to provide en- gineering, assembly, distribution and reverse logistics services on behalf of our clients. The compa- ny has sustained tremendous year-over-year growth by taking
