DP World Is Helping Position the Caribbean as a New Frontier for High-Value MedTech Manufacturing

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

Why MedTech Supply Chains Are Shifting

Around the world, healthcare supply chains are undergoing rapid change. Medical technology (MedTech) companies that manufacture surgical instruments, diagnostics equipment, and life-saving devices are facing rising tariffs, port congestion, and growing geopolitical uncertainty.

Geopolitical volatility has become a structural supply‑chain risk for MedTech. Deloitte’s 2025 Life Sciences Outlook survey reveals 48% of MedTech executives saying manufacturing and supply chain risks could significantly impact their 2025 strategy. A Bain and Company 2025 nearshoring survey shows that 80% of COOs plan to increase onshoring or nearshoring over the next three years.

These pressure points are growing. E2open’s 2025 Ocean Shipping Index shows that geopolitical tensions, labor shortages, and port congestion are driving significant increases in global transit times. Their reporting revealed that the global average time for ocean shipments in Q4 2024 averaged 68 days, up eight days compared to Q4 2023.

Increasingly, that search for stability and proximity is leading to the Caribbean – and specifically, the Dominican Republic.

A Strategic Manufacturing Gateway Enabled by DP World

The Dominican Republic is demonstrating what’s possible when modern logistics infrastructure meets long-term economic planning. At the Caucedo peninsula, DP World is advancing a multimillion-dollar expansion that integrates a deepwater port, logistics hub, and Special Economic Zone (SEZ) into one seamless ecosystem.

This expansion increases terminal capacity from 2.25 million to 3.1 million TEUs and unlocks more than 200 hectares of development-ready industrial land—purpose-built for companies operating in high-value, regulated industries.

This is more than a capacity boost – it represents a port-centric, end-to-end manufacturing model designed for connectivity, reliability, and supply chain resilience. Manufacturers gain direct access to global markets, faster lead times, and the ability to operate within an integrated port-centric environment.

Integrated Infrastructure Designed for Precision

For MedTech producers, fragmented logistics is one of the biggest threats to quality and speed. In traditional manufacturing locations, MedTech supply chains often span multiple cities and service providers. Imports arrive through one port, storage occurs elsewhere, assembly takes place in another region, and exports pass through yet another checkpoint. Every handoff adds time, cost, and risk.

The Caucedo SEZ eliminates that fragmentation.

Within a single, secure environment, manufacturers can:

  • Manage imports and specialized raw materials
  • Conduct regulated production and assembly
  • Maintain rigorous quality-assurance processes
  • Store components and finished goods in bonded facilities
  • Export finished products directly through an adjacent deepwater port with minimal handoffs

Digitally connected systems support visibility across every step of the process – including cold-chain logistics, traceability, and customs clearance. This integration reduces errors and delays that can be critical in healthcare. The U.S. FDA acknowledges that early awareness of supply disruptions is essential to mitigating the impacts of medical device shortages that disrupt patient care and put public health at risk – highlighting the importance of tightly controlled end-to-end environments.

Investing in Human Capital for High-Value Industries

A world-class MedTech ecosystem depends on a skilled workforce. Through the DP World Academy and partnerships with universities, technical institutes, and global training organizations, the Dominican Republic is building talent pipelines in STEM fields, manufacturing processes, quality management, and other competencies needed to support regulated industries.

This investment reinforces the country’s growing role as a regional MedTech powerhouse. The Dominican Republic already hosts one of the largest medical device manufacturing clusters in Latin America – exports from Dominican Free Zones reached $2.6 billion in 2023, representing over 31% of total export value from these areas. The SEZ expansion is expected to accelerate that growth, while attracting higher-value device assembly and component manufacturing.

A Model for the Future of MedTech Manufacturing

With its integrated SEZ, strong public-private collaboration, and deepening technical workforce, the Dominican Republic is emerging as a new frontier for high-value MedTech manufacturing – and DP World is at the center of this transformation.

In an industry where reliability, traceability, and speed directly impact patient outcomes, supply chain resilience matters more than ever. The Dominican Republic’s SEZ ecosystem, enabled by DP World’s infrastructure and logistics expertise, offers manufacturers a strategic, connected, and future-ready location to build the next generation of global healthcare supply chains.

“We must never forget the cost of freedom,” said Brea Kratzert Todd, vice president of business development at WWP. “Support from partners like City Electric Supply makes it possible for Wounded Warrior Project to be there for warriors throughout their lifetime, providing life-changing programs and resources.”

CES looks forward to working closely with WWP in its mission to support veterans and their families. 

Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) is our nation’s leading veteran services organization, focused on the total well-being of post-9/11 wounded, ill, or injured veterans. Our programs, advocacy, and awareness efforts help warriors thrive, provide essential lifelines to families and caregivers, and prevent veteran suicides. Learn more about Wounded Warrior Project. 

City Electric Supply (CES) is a third-generation family-owned company and one of the top 10 electrical wholesale distributors in North America. We’ve built lasting trust with industry professionals by empowering local decision-makers, delivering personalized service, and always going the extra mile. With over 5,400 team members and a strong branch network of more than 700 locations, CES supplies the products customers need, when they need them – so businesses can grow with CES by their side.

CES Cares is how City Electric Supply gives back.

Posted on by sHq_LoGiNz

PARIS, Dec. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — EKINOPS (Euronext Paris: FR0011466069) (Euronext Paris: EKI), a leading supplier of telecommunication solutions and Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) cybersecurity for telecom operators and enterprises, has been awarded the prestigious EcoVadis Gold medal, a recognition awarded to the Top 5% of companies assessed by EcoVadis in the 12 months prior to the medal issue date.

The EcoVadis sustainability assessment is an evaluation of how effectively the group has embedded key sustainability principles into its operations and policies. It is one of the most well-known and trusted sustainability assessments available globally. Ekinops’ overall score increased from 75/100 to 82/100, placing the group in the 97th percentile of the 150 000+  companies assessed by EcoVadis worldwide, and in the Top 1% of companies in the “Manufacture of communication equipment industry” category. The EcoVadis Gold medal recognizes the group’s commitment to implementing a strong sustainability culture and impactful initiatives.

Sébastien Bernard, Corporate Sustainability and Risks Manager, said:” This recognition is the result of the group’s dedication to meet the highest standards in terms of sustainability. It is a great achievement considering we had already made huge progress last year getting to a Silver medal rating. We are extremely pleased to contribute to our ecosystem efforts to improve sustainability performance.“

Ekinops has been  assessed since 2020 and also requires the group’s strategic and critical suppliers to undergo EcoVadis assessment, ensuring high standards and risks management throughout its supply chain. To date, 87% of Ekinops purchasing spending goes to suppliers which have achieved a score aligned with the company’s expectations of a score equal or superior to 45/100, corresponding to the “Committed” badge level of EcoVadis. This result is well above the group’s target for FY2025 (70% of purchasing spending), which is one of the Group’s three (3) ESG corporate objectives for FY2025 formally adopted by the Board of Directors.

Ekinops’ Gold medal reflects its commitment to fostering innovation while contributing to a responsible and sustainable global telecommunications industry.
