Minnesota Rubber and Plastics recently celebrated the company’s new 9,000-square-foot Innovation Center with a groundbreaking ceremony at headquarters in Plymouth, Minnesota.
Minnesota Rubber and Plastics also announced a contest for students in grades 6-8 to experience being an “engineer for a day” by submitting innovative ideas for new products or processes that address issues that are important to everyone – environmental sustainability, water quality, transportation efficiency and healthcare. The contest will kick off in the coming weeks, and the winning submission will be invited to the new Minnesota Rubber & Plastics Innovation Center upon its completion in spring 2022.
Quadion LLC, d.b.a. Minnesota Rubber and Plastics, shared the expansion plans for the first time at the Medical Design and Manufacturing (MD&M) West tradeshow on August 10-12, 2021, in booth #3268. The new Innovation Center will provide customers with direct access to multiple scientists and engineers in an immersive design-prototype-build-test process.
The goal of this engineer-to-engineer collaboration is to bring healthcare innovations to life faster. The company has built a strong reputation over the course of its 76-year history for designing, developing, manufacturing and assembling products for harsh environments, tight tolerances and technically demanding applications, including multi-material solutions and custom material formulations.
