Viant Medical

What Viant Medical does

Viant Medical is a privately held, vertically integrated medical device contract manufacturer headquartered in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The company operates 26 manufacturing facilities spanning approximately 2.3 million square feet (including 300,000+ square feet of cleanroom space) across the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, China, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, employing 5,001-10,000 people. Viant serves two primary customer segments: large medical device OEMs seeking a single-source partner for complex programs, and MedTech startups requiring design-through-scale support. Its clinical market coverage spans orthopedics, surgical technologies, cardiac and interventional, drug delivery, bioprocessing, bioelectronics, diagnostics, and respiratory/monitoring/patient care.

The company's core capabilities include design and development services (100 engineers managing 60+ active programs), precision metal tubing (80+ years of expertise including commercial-scale nitinol production), medical-grade plastics molding (including micro-molding at a dedicated Fremont, CA facility), extrusions, custom tooling, automation, device assembly, and finished device services. Its proprietary ViaLaunch™ program management system standardizes NPI and transfer processes, drawing on EPMO and PMI PMBOK methodologies. The Orthoplastics subsidiary, acquired in 2013, is described as the global leader in medical-grade UHMWPE for orthopedic implants. The company holds ISO 13485, ISO 11607, and ISO 14971 certifications across global operations and maintains 80+ patents with 100+ patent holders on staff.

Viant generates revenue primarily through contract manufacturing fees for components, assemblies, and finished devices, supplemented by engineering and design service fees for development engagements. Pricing is quote-based and tied to project scope, volume, materials, and complexity rather than published rate cards. Distribution is exclusively B2B via direct enterprise field sales targeting major OEMs and high-growth startups. The company is privately held, with prior investment from Baird Capital and RC Capital (2008) and JLL Partners and Water Street Healthcare Partners (2016), and has executed four disclosed acquisitions including the most recent acquisition of Knightsbridge Plastics in November 2024.
