MPE Ramps Up Production of Medical Carts

In the likely event the healthcare system reaches capacity, additional multi-purpose life support equipment carts will be needed. MPE is ready to help.

Midwest Products & Engineering (“MPE-INC” or the “Company”), a leading design and manufacturing partner to healthcare and technology OEMs, is taking action following President Trump’s invocation of the Defense Production Act by increasing production of off-the-shelf preconfigured medical carts for ventilators.

In order to treat the most severe COVID-19 cases, the healthcare system’s capacity is expected to be met. As a result, Emergency ICU centers will be needed in highly affected areas. Without portable medical carts with ventilators configured and positioned for fast-paced functionality and mobility, however, they will be dangerously ill-equipped.

Ventilators are critical in the treatment of the most severe cases of COVID-19 in helping patients to breathe, but without portable carts a hospital lacks the fluidity it needs to maximize its impact on patient care.

“As demand for ventilators surges around the world, we are ramping up medical cart production, and as a medical device equipment manufacturer, MPE is classified as an Essential Business – which means we will remain fully operational in the event a Federal, State, or Local quarantine is mandated.” said Hank Kohl, President & CEO of MPE-INC.

Based in Milwaukee, MPE’s FDA registered factory and quality management systems for the healthcare industry remains fully operational with low risk to supply chain and fulfillment of medical customers’ current demand. Their 200 dedicated employees are working overtime to contribute to the fight against coronavirus.

The health and safety of the nation is MPE’s top priority with the capacity to focus on assisting in the pandemic. Contact MPE now by phone (800)266-1687 or by email. MPE is ready to help.
