Mavidon

What Mavidon does

Mavidon is a specialty chemical manufacturer founded in 1986 and headquartered in Flat Rock, North Carolina (Henderson County). The company produces FDA-registered Class I medical devices centered on three proprietary collodion adhesive formulations (USP, HV, and A10) used in EEG and other neurodiagnostic procedures, along with complementary electrode adhesive removers and air pump equipment. Secondary product lines include the MaviGreen natural cleaning concentrate brand, specialty arts-and-crafts adhesive products, and contract packaging (co-packing) services for third-party brands.

Mavidon's core technology is its collodion formulation and small-batch chemical manufacturing capability, built through more than three decades of operation, the 2004 acquisition of European Research Labs, and successive facility expansions including a 2020 relocation to Flat Rock and a multi-phase build-out at the Oriole Mill facility during 2025-2026. Manufacturing know-how, regulatory clearances, and a dedicated medical-device division (Mavidon Medical Products, formed 1993) anchor the medical franchise.

The business operates a hybrid go-to-market model. Medical and industrial products flow through more than 20 distributors across 15+ countries (including MVAP, Kego USA, Compumedics NeuroScan, The Electrode Store, Meditrend International in Australia, Kego Corporation in Canada, GVB-GelMed GmbH in Germany, and Biosense Medical Supplies Limited in the UK/Ireland), while consumer lines and select specialty products are sold direct via the company's own e-commerce channels. Contract packaging services for third-party brands add a service-revenue stream that leverages the same manufacturing footprint, with at least one disclosed client scaling to 1.5 million units by 2025.
