Metrix Inc, headquartered in Dubuque, Iowa, is a specialized manufacturer of RF-welded disposable medical devices with over five decades of industry experience. Originally founded in 1964 as Riggs BioChemical, the company built its reputation through precision manufacturing of fetal bovine blood collection bags, a product line it continues to produ... ce for customers worldwide. Metrix expanded into broader medical device manufacturing during the 1980s, leveraging its core RF welding expertise and quality-focused operations to serve diverse healthcare markets. The company's flagship Secure Medical Products brand, acquired in 1996, is widely recognized throughout the industry for reliability and quality and has become the foundation for Metrix's continued product innovation and market growth. To enhance operational capacity and cost competitiveness for high-volume projects, Metrix established a contract manufacturing facility in San Cristobal, Dominican Republic in 2001, creating Metrix Dominicana and enabling the company to offer overlapping service capabilities across both locations. Both the Iowa headquarters and Dominican facility maintain FDA registration and ISO certification (9001 and 13485), with Class 100,000 cleanroom manufacturing environments that meet stringent medical device quality standards. The company's commitment to quality management was formalized in 2002 when its Quality System was updated to comply with ISO 13485, the International Organization for Standardization's Medical Devices Quality Management Systems standard. This dual-facility structure, combined with Metrix's specialized expertise in RF welding technology and disposable device manufacturing, positions the company to serve a diverse and expanding client base with both domestic and offshore manufacturing solutions. Metrix's sustained growth over multiple decades reflects its dedication to customer needs, operational excellence, and the consistent delivery of high-quality medical device products.Read More
