Cain Brothers House Calls Podcast: MedTech Follows Pharma

The Rapid Growth of Outsourcing in Medical Device Manufacturing

Why did Indiana become a hotbed of modern medical device manufacturing? Why did Henry Ford build a city in the Amazon? Every manufacturing sector has its origin story. Most turn to outsourcing as processes and components become increasingly complex, costly and challenging for compliance. Cain Brothers’ Managing Director Carl Hardie shares these stories with 4sight Health’s David W. Johnson on the latest episode of House Calls, a podcast by Cain Brothers.

Listen to this House Calls episode from Cain Brothers.  

Cain Brothers is a division of KeyBanc Capital Markets.
