Medax International

What Medax International does

Medax International, Inc. is a privately held US biomedical manufacturer founded in 1996 and headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, operating an integrated three-pillar business across branded laboratory consumables, OEM/ODM medical device manufacturing, and private-label/collateral branding manufacturing. The company's core product line is a complete range of pipette tips packaged in bulk, racked, and two refill configurations, all of which carry Medax's patented Total Delivery Technology™ — a proprietary low-retention surface treatment designed to maximize sample recovery and ensure total liquid delivery. Its OEM/ODM service extends the same American injection-molding platform to customer-designed medical devices and molded components, with molds built to exact customer specifications in the USA and maintained in-house through a dedicated molding maintenance team using state-of-the-art testing and preventative maintenance. The private-label program manufactures the full premium pipette tip line (including Total Delivery Technology™), racks, and refill systems under customer branding with custom-designed printed packaging and labels, enabling clients to build collateral brand identities for organic market growth.

The company sells primarily to researchers in the pharmaceutical, biotech, and academic communities worldwide, using a quote-based, sales-led GTM motion with direct customer service engagement, account-based quotation, and long-tenured relationship management. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; quotes are tailored to annual budgets, stock-room needs, and delivery schedules, with volume discounts, early-payment discounts, and standard commercial terms (Net invoiced terms, 18% per annum late-payment interest, 15% restocking fee on returns, FOB/EXW Salt Lake City). Payment methods include cash, check, ACH, wire, major credit cards, and lines of credit. The company has no disclosed parent, subsidiaries, funding rounds, partnerships, M&A activity, or named customers, and operates as an independent private corporation with no public-market listing. AI, APIs, and software-as-a-service offerings are absent from the product portfolio.

Core offering

Medax International manufactures a complete line of laboratory pipette tips in bulk, racked, and two refill configurations, all featuring its proprietary Total Delivery Technology™ low-retention surface treatment. In addition to branded consumables, the company offers custom OEM/ODM medical device and molded-component manufacturing using American-made molds, plus private-label/collateral branding programs that produce premium pipette tips, racks, and refills under customer-designed packaging.

Product overview

Medax International offers a single unified product portfolio centered on laboratory consumables (principally pipette tips), supported by two complementary service lines: Medical Device Manufacturing (OEM/ODM) and Private Label / Collateral Branding. The core offering is the Laboratory Consumables Products line — pipette tips in bulk, racked, and two refill configurations — all of which feature the proprietary Total Delivery Technology™ low-retention solution. The OEM/ODM Medical Device Manufacturing service extends the platform with custom American-made molds and in-house molding maintenance, while the Private Label program leverages the same Total Delivery Technology™-equipped tip, rack, and refill manufacturing capabilities under client-designed packaging and labels to support clients' collateral branding strategies. Together, these three product lines serve researchers in pharmaceutical, biotech, and academic communities worldwide.
