When Today’s Medical Developments magazine published its 2026 Medical Manufacturing Industry Outlook at the end of January, we weren’t surprised to see investments in Artificial Intelligence (AI) as one of the key strategies identified by survey respondents for 2026.

New product launches, strategic mergers, acquisitions, and partnerships are also ranked high as key strategies for this year. This didn’t surprise us, either.

However, the comprehensive article also included interviews with nearly a dozen medical manufacturing leaders – and this is where we found the most insightful content.

“Good parts are not enough,” Scientific Cutting Tools Business Strategy Director Brian Falk said. “Manufacturers will need repeatable processes that can be proven, documented, and sustained, shift after shift.”

This is what Gages do!

Sirois Tool provides complex, tight tolerance gages for several medical device manufacturers. Sirois also offers tooling and fixtures to address the need for repeatable processes mentioned above.

Partnering with Sirois Tool, medical manufacturers can focus on their core competencies while leveraging our expertise. They can access our specialized knowledge, advanced technologies, and established supply chains that would be costly and time consuming for them to develop on their own.

“Whether we’re providing precision tooling, fixtures, or gages, our experienced employees are able to work with the medical OEMs early in the process – often from initial concept – to ensure that the tool and/or gage design is manufacturable.” – Alan Ortner – President of Sirois Tool

According to the Medical Manufacturing Industry Outlook, the global medical device market is projected to increase from $719.61 billion in 2026 to approximately $1,209.42 billion by 2035. With several decades serving this industry, we’re perfectly poised to help medical manufacturers capture their share.
