Quality producer of OEM medical devices and components.

Speed 4 / Price 3 / Quality 5

I worked on a project with Heraeus where they were the manufacturers of a ground wire with several complex features and tight tolerances. Their team worked closely with our team during development and I credit them with resolving some key issues that we had with our design. The Heraeus team was able to accomplish what several other similar companies could not. The quality of their work is exceptional. They always worked with sense of urgency, giving us realistic timelines and always delivering on time.

It was a pleasure to work with these good folks. Everyone from their engineering team to their business development team seemed to be in tuned with what needed to be done. I would definitely do business with Heraeus again.

Strengths: Heraeus manufactures OEM components and devices for the medical device industry. They excel in core wire grinding, coil winding and guide wire assembly/manufacturing.

Needs to improve: There are some limitations to what Heraeus is willing to do. They seem to be less interested in producing complete packaged products. They understand what their core competencies are and wish to focus on those core competencies instead.

Decent choice for machining components

Speed 1 / Price 3 / Quality 3

My company contracts with Hereaus both in Germany and in Minnesota to supply component parts for our medical devices. The sales team is knowledgeable and always eager to do work for us and frequently flies out to discuss projects face to face to head off issues before they arise. Their product quality is excellent but they at times miss set delivery date deadlines. On a few occasions they missed the date by a few weeks. It requires a lot of following up on our end to make sure our jobs are going to be delivered and customer service can be hard to reach at times.

Strengths: Knowledgeable staff, quality product, wide selection

Needs to improve: Missed deadlines, hard to reach customer service at times

Speed 3 / Price 2 / Quality 5

Heraeus is a capable custom coil supplier who can deliver coils at your average specifications, but their largest drawback is the piece price. They tend to be higher than others, but the quality is better than most. If cost is an issue, I would not hesitate to look elsewhere.

Needs to improve: Price per piece can be costly, especially for low volumes
