Meet Polo Custom Products at Two Major MedTech Shows This Fall

Aug 12, 2026
Posted by Sean Frost

September and October will be important months for Polo Custom Products as our team heads to two leading medical device manufacturing events: Medical Technology Ireland and MD&M Midwest. These shows give MedTech OEMs the opportunity to discuss current manufacturing challenges, explore new production opportunities, and connect directly with the people who can help move their products forward.

Polo Custom Products will exhibit at Medical Technology Ireland on September 23–24, 2026, at the Galway Racecourse in Galway, Ireland. Visit our team at Booth #92. We will then travel to Minneapolis for MD&M Midwest on October 28–29, 2026, at the Minneapolis Convention Center, where you can find us at Booth #3810.


Why Visit Polo Custom Products?

Bringing a medical product to market involves much more than finding a company that can sew or seal a component. OEMs need a custom manufacturing partner that understands material performance, product requirements, repeatability, quality expectations and scalability.

That is where Polo Custom Products can help.

Our team supports MedTech companies with design and engineering assistance, material sourcing, prototyping, design for manufacturability, quality validation, production, assembly, and supply chain support. By involving Polo early, OEM teams can identify potential manufacturing challenges before they become expensive burdens. We look for opportunities to improve repeatability, reduce unnecessary production steps, manage costs, and build a process that can scale with demand.

When you visit our booth, bring your drawings, material questions, early concepts, napkins sketches or current production challenges. Our team can discuss the project requirements and help determine a practical path toward manufacturing.


Specialized Capabilities for Medical Products

Polo brings several complementary manufacturing capabilities together through one partner:

  • Industrial sewing: Custom sewing for medical soft goods, straps, covers, cases, support products, wearable components, and other textile-based assemblies. Our teams work with a wide range of technical fabrics, webbing, hook-and-loop materials, foams, and specialty components.
  • RF sealing and specialty heat-sealing processes: RF welding, ultrasonic welding, impulse sealing, hot-air sealing, and other processes for applications requiring durable, repeatable sealed seams. These capabilities can support inflatable, fluid-management, protective, and containment products.
  • Thermoforming: Formed plastic components and assemblies produced to meet functional, fit, durability, and appearance requirements.
  • Engineering and manufacturing support: Design reviews, material evaluation, process development, tooling, prototyping, testing coordination, and Design for Manufacturability guidance to help prepare products for consistent production.

Polo also supports customers with ISO 9001:2015- and ISO 13485:2016-certified quality systems, FDA-registered manufacturing, Berry compliance, cleanroom and controlled-environment options, and quality planning tools appropriate for medical applications.


Two Shows, One Opportunity to Move Your Project Forward

Medical Technology Ireland brings together hundreds of global suppliers and professionals focused on medical device design, advanced manufacturing, materials, components, regulatory needs, and supply chain solutions. Located in Galway—one of Europe’s most important MedTech hubs—the event offers an excellent opportunity for OEMs to explore manufacturing partnerships and new ways to strengthen their supply chains.

At MD&M Midwest, attendees can explore MedTech alongside automation, design and manufacturing, plastics, and packaging. The MDM Midwest show is a valuable meeting place for engineers, R&D teams, quality professionals, operations leaders, and buyers.

For Polo, both events are about having useful conversations. Whether you are developing a new medical device, preparing to scale an established product, reshoring or nearshoring production, choosing a supplier, or trying to solve a current manufacturing issue, our team is ready to learn about your project.

Visit Polo Custom Products at Medical Technology Ireland, Booth #92, September 23–24, or at MD&M Midwest, Booth #3810, October 28–29. Discover how Polo can help turn your medical product into scalable manufacturing solution.

From early material decisions and prototyping through full-scale production, Polo works alongside OEM teams to help bring sewn medical products from concept to completion. Have a sewn medical product or assembly you’re ready to develop?
