About Medline: We’re more than a healthcare supplier
We’re supply chain experts, clinical leaders and product specialists. For more than 50 years – and over 30 years in Laredo, TX/Nuevo Laredo, Mexico – Medline has been manufacturing and distributing quality healthcare supplies to all points of care across the US and around the world. Today, Medline is the largest provider of medical supplies in the country, distributing more than 300,000 healthcare products to help doctors and nurses deliver their best care.
Why the Medline-Laredo region partnership is so important
We’re proud of our long and successful partnership with the Laredo regional community. We employ more than 3,600 people here manufacturing surgical procedure trays for healthcare providers throughout the country.
As the world’s largest maker of surgical trays, our trays come complete with everything needed in one convenient pack. This improves outcomes and standardizes procedures, shortening the time it takes to perform a procedure and reducing waste. In addition to benefiting the patient with a simpler procedure, it also benefits healthcare providers by not having to pick each individual item from their supply shelves.
It’s the people who make us who we are
We prioritize creating a diverse and inclusive workplace, one that recognizes values and respects the differences we all bring to the table. Each of our employees helps us establish connections to the local communities where they live and work. They also bring a diversity of ideas and voices to our company.
The Laredo region is crucial to the US healthcare supply chain
Laredo is not only an important partner to Medline, it’s a vital supply hub to the US healthcare system. Our Laredo area facilities manufacture about 40% of the country’s surgical trays, more than any other area in the US. Without Laredo, hospitals and other healthcare providers would be unable to meet the needs of patients everywhere.
