Keep your work moving when internal capacity is stretched.

We provide contract assembly, kitting, packaging, labeling, and production support for labor-intensive work. Our role is simple. We take on the work that slows teams down, creates bottlenecks, or adds risk. You keep focus on your core operation.

This is production support designed to fit into how manufacturing actually works.

A Partner Manufacturers Rely On

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

What You Can Expect When You Work With MDI

Operational Reliability

Production keeps moving even when labor is tight or demand spikes.

Quality and Compliance

ISO-certified processes, inspection systems, and documentation that protect your standards.

Flexible Capacity

Scale output without hiring, training, or carrying fixed labor costs.

Cost Control

Reduce overtime, rework, and vendor complexity with one integrated partner.

Purpose-driven Execution

Inclusive employment that strengthens delivery without compromising performance.

Scalable Operations

Adapt quickly to demand shifts without disrupting production schedules or overloading your team.

Why Manufacturers Outsource Production Support?

Outsourcing is no longer a stopgap. It is a way to protect throughput when labor is tight and demand shifts quickly.

Manufacturers outsource labor-intensive work to reduce overtime, avoid staffing risk, and keep internal teams focused on core production. The right partner provides flexible capacity, documented quality controls, and predictable execution without adding headcount. When done well, outsourcing reduces risk. It does not create it.

How We Support Your Operation

Our services are designed to integrate cleanly into existing workflows. Each service is supported by documented processes, trained teams, and quality controls. If you are not sure where the work should start, a packaging line audit maps it before anything moves.

Rework and Repackaging

Sorting, correcting and repacking product that cannot ship as it stands.

Medical Device Assembly

Assembly and packaging for regulated medical work, run under documented controls. Pilot builds run first where a full transfer is not yet justified.

Warehousing and Fulfillment

Storage, pick and pack, and outbound shipping once the production work is done.

Assembly and Kitting

High-mix, low-volume projects. Complex kits. Tight timelines.

Contract Packaging

Shrink wrapping, co-packing, labeling, and custom packaging formats.

Hand Assembly and Packing

Labor-intensive work that is difficult to automate or staff consistently in-house.

Precision Cutting

Repeatable, tight-tolerance cutting across a range of materials.

Controlled and White Room Environments

ISO-certified spaces for regulated and contamination-sensitive work.

Product Labeling

Application, verification and variable data labeling, run to spec and inspected before it ships.

Packaging

Retail-ready, bulk and protective formats packed to your standard rather than ours.

Automated Filling

Volume filling for liquids, powders and small parts where hand-filling cannot keep pace.

Collating

Sequencing, inserting and sorting printed and mixed materials into finished sets.

Common Questions About MDI Services

What are kitting and assembly services in manufacturing?

Kitting and assembly services combine individual components into complete, ready-to-ship products or kits. Manufacturers use these services to streamline packaging, reduce internal labor demands, and improve consistency. Work often includes assembly, labeling, inspection, and final packaging.

When should a manufacturer outsource kitting and assembly?

Manufacturers typically outsource kitting and assembly when internal teams are at capacity or labor is hard to hire. Outsourcing also makes sense when work is repetitive, labor-intensive, or not core to production. It helps maintain throughput without adding headcount.

How does outsourcing kitting and assembly reduce labor strain?

Outsourcing shifts labor-heavy work to a dedicated production partner. This reduces overtime, burnout, and reliance on temporary staffing. Internal teams can focus on core manufacturing tasks while maintaining output.
