and technicians as they expand their capabilities and grow into new roles. WESTPAK’s focus on people isn’t just internal, as it also applies to its partner companies. “In the last 2 years, we’ve formed an alliance with companies that are adjacent to us in the supply chain. We’re all similar in size and like-minded companies. We’re all privately owned, and so we’ve found that there’s strength in numbers, especially in an environment. So, we’ve combined together and formed the West Coast Device Alliance,” Crivello explains. The companies within the alliance are Eagle Medical, Pacific Biolabs, Steritek, Blueline Sterilization, and WESTPAK. Together, these five companies have created an environment that allows front-end users and customers to leverage the alliance’s collective expertise to quickly and properly assess the viability of their products under live market conditions. The result for WESTPAK has been a level of trust that has skyrocketed its credibility with medical device customers. When customers choose WESTPAK, they know its reports will stand up to scrutiny because it adheres to the highest standards. A COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABLE SUCCESS As regulations evolve and customer expectations shift, WESTPAK is also expanding its focus on environmental impact and sustainability. “Our customers are looking to have more sustainable packaging, specifically on how to reduce the amount of packaging they have. Until recently, most haven’t looked at the overarching sustainability and the amount of packaging that’s in there. So, their big question is how to reduce that packaging and still meet their goals and requirements?” Schwinghammer explains. 47 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 12, ISSUE 05 WESTPAK, INC.
