Precision Assembly for Med & Pharma
Viant Grand Rapids provides finished-goods assembly for cardiovascular and interventional devices, including heart positioners, valve holders, and other products that demand precision, repeatability, and strict process control.
Built for a high-mix operating model, the facility adapts as programs progress from early builds to higher-volume production. NPI and engineering teams stay closely connected to the floor, helping guide devices from initial trials into stable, repeatable manufacturing.
An on-site, cross-functional team brings discipline and consistency to every stage of the process, giving OEMs the stability to reduce risk, support growth, and keep programs moving forward with confidence.

| Core Capabilities | Our Approach | What it Means For You |
|---|---|---|
| NPI | Dedicated NPI team executing ViaLaunch™ methodology and 3P events, with cross-functional resources (PM, NPI Manager, QEs, MEs, Buyer) aligned from kickoff through production release. Over 25 successful launches and transfers. | New programs move from concept to validated production with fewer surprises, tighter timelines, and lower launch risk. |
| Program Management | Program management support grounded in EPMO and PMBOK® best practices, with Lean and Six Sigma principles embedded throughout. Viant’s team aligns to program goals, proactively manages risk, and maintains clear communication at every stage. | Clear ownership and proactive risk management from kickoff through delivery that supports audit readiness. |
| Assembly & Automation Systems | High-mix Class 7 and 8 cleanroom assembly supported by semi-automated and fully automated processes. Capabilities include robotic handling, vision inspection, in-line testing, device kitting, and downstream integration with packaging workflows. | Consistent throughput, fewer defects, and scalable assembly performance as your volumes grow. |
| Packaging & Sterile Barrier Systems | On-site Packaging Center of Excellence supports complete packaging design and integration, including form-fill-seal, bar and tray sealing, ergonomic packaging solutions, labeling, serialization, and validation expertise aligned to ISO 11607. | Ready-to-ship packaging developed and validated under one roof to reduce risk, rework, and lead time. |
| Validation, Microbiology & Environmental Control | CMM and dimensional inspection, viable and non-viable particulate monitoring, environmental monitoring, cleanroom qualification, BI sterility tests, endotoxin (LAL) testing, growth promotion, and documented validation protocols for assembly and packaging processes. | Rapid, documented proof that your assemblies and packaging meet every requirement, delivered without the delays of external lab testing. |
