I had the privilege of attending Fabtech Canada 2024 in Toronto as the Purchasing Manager for Yourgene Health Canada, a company specializing in manufacturing medical equipment. This event provided a unique opportunity to expand our supplier network, discover new innovations, and strengthen existing partnerships.

As someone responsible for sourcing materials and managing procurement for a medical device manufacturer, my top priority at the exhibition was to identify potential suppliers who could meet the strict standards of our industry. Fabtech’s extensive showcase of advanced technologies and products allowed me to connect with several new vendors who offered innovative solutions that align with our operational needs. These suppliers presented opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and diversify our supply chain.

One of the highlights of the event was the opportunity to meet with a long-time supplier of Yourgene Health Canada. Having worked with them remotely for years, this face-to-face meeting allowed us to strengthen our partnership and discuss strategies for future collaboration. It was also a great chance to provide feedback on their products and services, ensuring continued alignment with our company’s evolving requirements.

Seeing live demonstrations of advanced manufacturing equipment, such as precision cutting machines and automated assembly systems, was truly eye-opening. These technologies have potential applications in medical equipment production, and I brought back actionable ideas to share with our operations team.

Takeaway

Attending Fabtech Canada 2024 was a valuable experience that reinforced the importance of strategic supplier relationships in procurement. I left the event not only with a list of promising new suppliers but also with stronger connections to existing partners and fresh ideas to improve our procurement and production processes at Yourgene Health Canada.
