Summit Medical recently announced that it has expanded its St. Paul, Minn. manufacturing facility with an additional 15,000 sq. ft. The addition opened on Feb. 11.

The expansion will become a secondary facility for the company’s headquarters that is located less than a mile away. It will also serve as a master distribution center.

“The addition of our master distribution and manufacturing center allows us to support Summit Medical’s significant growth in midwest and the Twin Cities, as well as Innovia Medical’s global operations,” Kevin McIntosh, president of Summit Medical, said in a press release. “Customers shouldn’t expect any variation in billing or inquiries completed via the corporate office, but may experience faster order fulfillment.”

Summit Medical specializes in a number of medical device product lines, including ENT products, ophthalmic products, jaw fixation products and instrument protection trays and care and maintenance products.
