Mopec Group

What Mopec Group does

Mopec Group, headquartered in Madison Heights, Michigan, is a vertically integrated manufacturer and supplier of anatomic and forensic pathology equipment, laboratory consumables, connected workflow technology, and service programs. Founded in 1992, the company operates two core brands: Mopec (anatomic and forensic pathology equipment, consumables, and laboratory products for hospitals, universities, morgues, and research institutions) and Mortech Manufacturing (built-to-order stainless steel forensic pathology equipment for autopsy, necropsy, morgue, mortuary, and veterinary markets, in operation since 1985). In May 2026 the company formalized Cortex Systems as a dedicated technology division developing integrated workflow software and connected solutions for pathology laboratories, including tools to strengthen documentation practices and connect points across the diagnostic workflow.

The business operates three distinct revenue streams: pathology equipment manufacturing (hardware sales to hospitals, universities, morgues, and research institutions), laboratory consumables distribution (hardware-style recurring sales through dedicated distribution infrastructure), and a Certified Service organization delivering service programs, warranty, and quality management for installed equipment. Distribution is primarily via direct enterprise field sales, supplemented by a new Troy, Michigan consumables distribution center opened in 2026 in partnership with the Michigan Economic Development Corporation, serving North American and global customers. The company monetizes via B2B quote-based pricing on capital equipment and recurring purchases on consumables and service contracts.

The company is led by a CEO with prior private equity (Quad-C) and large-company healthcare distribution experience (Performance Health, Henry Schein Animal Health, McKesson Medical-Surgical, GE Healthcare), a CTO with biomedical engineering expertise and a track record of patented technologies in Class I, II, and III medical devices, and a Clinical Advisory Board staffed by pathologists' assistants, a forensic pathologist past-president of the National Association of Medical Examiners, and a senior product manager at the College of American Pathologists. Customers cited include America's premier healthcare institutions, the Hennepin County Medical Examiner Facility, and LSU Health Shreveport, where Mopec overhauled an anatomy education lab serving over 150 students. Recent strategic activity in 2026—a new distribution facility, a new technology division, multiple strategic partnerships, and 40+ new jobs in Michigan—is consistent with a deliberate scaling phase backed by prior PE involvement.
