The company, known for its healthcare-focused polymer compounds and masterbatches, will showcase five key technologies, each designed to respond to the technical and regulatory complexities facing modern medtech—particularly in areas like connected care, self-administered delivery, and robotic-assisted interventions. Among the engineered solutions:

Americhem is actively engaging with OEM partners to co-develop and validate them for next-generation device applications. The company reports continued double-digit growth in its healthcare segment, supported by its ISO 13485-certified facilities in the U.S. and Denmark and upcoming expansion into China in 2026.

Americhem will also participate in the SPE Minitec Conference held during MD&M West, joining technical discussions on materials innovation for evolving care models.

“There’s a clear shift happening—material choices are now deeply tied to sustainability goals, regulatory scrutiny, and device functionality,” said Matt Miklos, Vice President of Corporate Strategy and M&A at Americhem. “What we’re bringing to these shows is not a catalog—it’s a pipeline of engineered solutions designed to be customized, scaled, and validated in partnership with OEMs who are navigating that complexity every day.”

Americhem’s approach emphasizes long-term material consistency, global compliance, and early design collaboration—factors increasingly prioritized by engineering and R&D teams charged with building the next wave of medical devices.
