Regional dealers and distributor customers are able to take advantage of Micon’s manufacturing partnerships and purchasing power. Due to low volume requirements, freight costs, or the inability to source the product, dealers are typically unable to purchase certain products in reasonable quantities for a reasonable price. Perusing Micon's product offering lends a view into the current products available. Simply request a quotation, then place an order.
In addition, if the dealer has a need for a particular product that is not currently in the Micon product offering, then Micon will attempt to source the product. Once sourced and quoted, Micon will acquire and warehouse the product with a committed PO from the dealer. As soon as the product is available, it will ship out to the dealer.
By sourcing multiple products through Micon, dealers may be able to consolidate several manufacturers’ products into one shipment, typically LCL, further saving costs.
Micon is also able to provide additional support to the dealers and their sales team through various services, including but not limited to:
Micon has an existing network of over 150 dealers across 60 countries. This network has been developed and nourished by Micon’s principals over the course of a combined 50 years in the medical device industry. By partnering with Micon, manufacturers tap into that network without the need to hire its own sales force or costly travel.
Moreover, in efforts to be cost effective, manufacturers often have minimum order quantities that it lower volume purchases of smaller dealers challenging to endure. Micon assumes this burden, by meeting the manufacturers’ MOQs, yet selling to a multitude of dealers across the Micon client list.
For those manufacturers that desire entering the US market, Micon also has Regulatory Specialists on staff with the capabilities of writing and filing US FDA 510(K) applications. Micon's RA staff can also assist with ISO 13485:2016, CE marking and MDSAP (US, Canada, Brazil, Japan and Australia).
The US-based company is operated by international healthcare executives with decades of experience in implementing innovative, quality and cost-effective initiatives for businesses to thrive in today's ever-changing healthcare market. Their combined knowledge and expertise results in the ability to bridge and capture opportunities between Asia, North America, Europe, India, the Middle East and other global markets.
While many large medical device companies can afford to hire materials managers and strategic sourcing personnel in low-cost markets, this would be considered an unbearable expense for most smaller companies and regional distributors. And for manufacturers, they are able to gain business through Micon’s network of customers without concern of them meeting the minimum order quantities.
Micon has multi-lingual agents with “feet-on-the-ground” based in China to source products and qualify manufacturers. This eliminates the need for the dealers to have employees there, or even having to travel. Micon is able to confirm regulatory requirements and conduct quality control inspections. And with very low overhead, Micon passes those savings on to the dealers.
