Mexico Has Potential to Develop Electromedical Devices

Q: What advances have been made in the medical device sector during the past couple of years?

A: Medical devices range from tongue depressors to more sophisticated equipment. Mexico plays a key role in the medical devices industry, producing its own products and hosting substantial manufacturing operations in the northern region. This industry is solid in Mexico. Despite complications in the healthcare sector during the previous administration, progress is being made. Efforts are underway to find better ways to care for Mexican patients and to establish a strong foundation for a robust healthcare system for everyone.

While Mexico is competent in the development of basic medical devices, investment and development of electromedical and more advanced technological devices have been limited. Arroba Ingenieria is focusing on importing electromedical products, primarily from the European Union and China. 

Q: How has the Latin American market received Arroba Ingeniría’s products?

A: We have been warmly received in the region, and our products are viewed favorably. Within three months, we will begin selling products regularly in some Latin American countries. We are devising strategies and will establish a warehouse at a port for immediate deliveries. In the next five years, we will become a key reference in neonatal care in Colombia due to the quality of our products and the competitive prices we offer. 

The pandemic was a major challenge, and while we did not lay off any employees, some projects had to be sacrificed. Last year was highly successful, and this year is shaping up to be even better. We are expanding our production capabilities in Mexico and will continue to grow and mature our operations to increase our manufacturing capacity.

Q: How have your efforts in educating clients about the benefits and cost savings of your technology evolved in recent years?

A: Our users seldom file complaints or seek assistance. This is a testament to the efficacy of our products, which require little training for healthcare providers. We have worked diligently to ensure our equipment is user-friendly and intuitive, minimizing complexity. This effort has been successful; our devices are both aesthetically pleasing and easy to use.

Q: What goals and objectives would Arroba Ingeniería like to achieve in the near to midterm?

A: In the next seven years, we will focus on building a company with a well-established legacy, which will operate effectively without my presence as director general. This year’s objective is to start exporting. We are also developing an industrial park. By 2025, we plan to finish relocating to the new facilities. We also aim to complete the development of our dual incubator product.
