Medical Product Outsourcing

What Medical Product Outsourcing does

Medical Product Outsourcing (MPO) is a B2B media brand and wholly-owned property of Rodman Media, a diversified media conglomerate. The company publishes a monthly print and digital magazine and operates a suite of content products — including breaking news, online exclusives, a podcast (Mike on Medtech), short-form video (VideoBites), webinars, whitepapers, and eBooks — targeted exclusively at the medical device outsource manufacturing supply chain. Its content covers 11 supply chain topic centers spanning 3D/Additive Manufacturing, Contract Manufacturing, Electronics, Machining & Laser Processing, Materials, Molding, Packaging & Sterilization, R&D & Design, Software & IT, Testing, and Tubing & Extrusion.

MPO's distribution is multi-channel: a website (mpo-mag.com), print and digital magazine subscriptions, email newsletters, social media (X/Twitter), and an owned event portfolio including the MPO Summit and MPO Medtech Forum, plus coverage of major medtech trade shows. The Outsourcing Directory, containing 1,109+ company profiles across 100+ service categories, functions as a structured supplier-discovery and lead-generation platform and is a core monetization asset alongside the annual Top Global Medical Device Companies Report.

The business model is a hybrid of subscription revenue (recurring) from professional readers and advertising/sponsorship revenue from contract manufacturers, CDMOs, and service providers seeking visibility with medtech OEMs. The company positions itself as the only global media brand dedicated specifically to medical device outsource manufacturing, serving both buyer-side (OEMs, engineers, regulatory professionals) and supplier-side (contract manufacturers, service providers) audiences in a horizontal segmentation approach.

Emerging players

• MedTech Dive: MedTech Dive is a digital-first B2B news outlet covering medical device industry news, regulation, and business strategy. It competes with MPO for medtech executive readership but focuses more broadly on industry business news than on outsource manufacturing specifically.
• Orthopedic Design & Technology: Orthopedic Design & Technology covers the orthopedic device industry including manufacturing and outsourcing, closely aligned with MPO's ODT Forum sub-brand. It is a vertically specialized peer with comparable B2B media model.
• PlasticsToday: PlasticsToday covers plastics manufacturing with a medical device vertical, including molding, materials, and contract manufacturing topics that overlap with MPO's Molding and Materials supply chain categories.
• MassDevice: MassDevice is a digital media outlet covering medical device and medtech industry news, with strong coverage of manufacturing, M&A, and regulatory developments. It competes with MPO for the medtech professional audience, particularly through daily online content.

Regional players

• Packaging Digest: Packaging Digest covers packaging design and manufacturing across multiple verticals including medical devices. It competes with MPO's Packaging & Sterilization topic center for the medtech packaging audience.

Others

• Healthcare Packaging (Rodman Media): Healthcare Packaging is a sister publication to MPO under the Rodman Media portfolio, covering packaging and sterilization for medical and pharmaceutical products. It is a portfolio sibling rather than a direct competitor, but shares Rodman Media's sales infrastructure and audience overlap.
• Plastics Decorating: Plastics Decorating is another Rodman Media title serving adjacent plastics and manufacturing audiences. It shares parent-company resources with MPO and serves a related manufacturing professional audience.

Direct peers

• Today's Medical Developments: Today's Medical Developments is a B2B magazine focused on medical device manufacturing technology and materials, covering machining, molding, additive manufacturing, and finishing — overlapping directly with MPO's supply chain content categories.
• MD+DI (Medical Device + Diagnostic Industry): MD+DI is a long-standing B2B trade publication covering the medical device and diagnostic industry, including manufacturing, regulation, and supply chain topics. It is one of MPO's most direct competitors in serving medtech professionals with news, features, and supplier information.
• Medical Design & Outsourcing (MD&O): MD&O is a B2B trade publication covering medical device design, development, and outsourcing — directly competing with MPO for the same medtech OEM, contract manufacturer, and supplier audience. Both publications serve professionals sourcing contract manufacturing partners and tracking outsourcing trends.
