This new 120,000 square foot MEDRAD Saxonburg/Clinton Twp/Butler County, PA manufacturing plant opened in January 2008 and will increase MEDRAD capacity for making sterile disposables.

The facility will produce disposable components for its vascular injection systems. The facility employs 70, with potential employment anticipated to reach hundreds of new jobs over the next several years. The facility is located on the former site of a U.S. Steel sintering plant in Victory Road Business Park. It is 30 miles north of Downtown Pittsburgh and about 14 miles from MEDRAD's original sterile disposables operation on Route 910 in Indianola, Pa., which will remain in operation.

The facility went from groundbreaking to start-up in just 10 months. The building is also designed to be LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certified. LEED certification requires that a building meet stringent measures and tests of its energy efficiency and environmentally friendly construction through use of natural lighting, biodegradable materials and construction practices that reduce human impact on the site. At the heart of the new facility is an extensive clean room environment in which workers manufacture disposable components used to inject contrast dyes during medical imaging procedures. MEDRAD's disposable products consist primarily of high-pressure, large-volume syringes and injection systems, including specialty tubing, used to inject contrast agents as part of computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) and angiography medical imaging scans.The 20-acre site has room for possible future growth and is part of a Keystone Opportunity Zone (KOZ), which the commonwealth has developed to encourage businesses to invest in Pennsylvania.

MEDRAD, INC. is a worldwide leading provider of medical devices and services that enable and enhance imaging procedures of the human body. Used in diagnostic imaging, MEDRAD's product offerings include a comprehensive line of vascular injection systems, magnetic resonance (MR) surface coils and patient care products, and equipment services.
