Fireside Chat: Challenges in the Medical Supply Chain

2/10/2021 9:25 AM

Todd Fagley, the CEO and co-founder of MedSource Labs, spoke with John Kingston to discuss the supply chain challenges that the medical supply sector has faced in the age of the pandemic. MedSource is a manufacturer and distributor of a wide range of medical supplies. For one thing, there’s a lot more air freight than there was before. And like most companies in the medical supply chain, MedSource has needed to step up taking care of immediate pressing demands from customers and had to put some long-range development on hold. But they’re getting back to that now.
