Vantage MedTech Introduction
Vantage MedTech (Vantage) is a full-service outsourced manufacturer of Class II and Class III electro-mechanical capital equipment for the medical device industry. Vantage supports the complete product life cycle, from conceptual design, engineering, prototype development, and regulatory support through manufacturing and aftermarket services. Our reputation is built on technical capability, high-quality standards, on-time performance, and customer service.
We serve leading medical device original equipment manufacturers and emerging innovators, positioning Vantage not simply as a supplier, but as a value-added partner. As medical device companies increasingly rely on outsourcing to improve speed, efficiency, and focus, Vantage is building the capabilities and scalable operating systems needed to support continued growth.
Ampersand Capital Partners made a growth equity investment in Sterling Medical Devices in June 2022. In February 2023, Sterling was recapitalized and combined with RBC Medical Innovations, creating Vantage MedTech.
Reporting Relationship
The Director of Supply Chain is responsible for leading Vantage MedTech’s end-to-end supply chain strategy and execution across procurement, supplier management, materials management, warehousing, inventory control, and shipping logistics. This leader will build scalable processes that strengthen customer service, support uninterrupted production, improve cost and working capital performance, and increase supplier reliability across the Kansas and New Jersey operations.
