Contract Manufacturing at IMTS 2026

You are going to Chicago to win work. We help you deliver it.

IMTS 2026 · McCormick Place, Chicago · September 14–19

A booth at IMTS costs real money. The orders it brings back land on a floor that is already running full.

MDI takes on the assembly, kitting, and packaging work that slows you down, so a good show does not turn into a backlog.

Our team is walking the floor all week. Tell us your booth number and we will come to you.

A Partner Logistics Teams Rely On

For more than 60 years, operations managers and logistics leaders have relied on MDI for durable, custom-designed corrugated plastic containers that stand up to the rigors of picking, packing, and shipping.

What we take off your floor.

Our work integrates into your existing workflow. Documented processes, trained teams, quality controls that match your standards.

How We Support Your Operations

For more than 60 years, manufacturers across Minnesota and beyond have relied on MDI to support production during growth, peak demand, and labor disruption.

  • Operational Reliability: Production keeps moving even when labor is tight or demand spikes.
  • Flexible Capacity: Scale output without hiring, training, or carrying fixed labor costs.
  • Quality and Compliance: ISO 9001:2015 certified processes, inspection systems, and documentation that protect your standards.
  • Cost Control: Reduce overtime, rework, and vendor complexity with one integrated partner.
