Labor challenges should not stall your growth.

When your internal team is stretched thin, keeping up with production spikes or complex kitting orders becomes a problem. You cannot afford to miss deadlines. But you also do not want the risk and cost of bringing on temporary workers or building out new infrastructure.

You need a partner who can handle the overflow, simplify the complex, and keep your supply chain moving. You need a partner who can manage high-volume fulfillment while maintaining accuracy. The right kitting solutions absorb that overflow so your core production line stays focused on what it does best.

FAQs

What is kitting and assembly, and how does it work?

Kitting and assembly combine individual components (parts, hardware, printed materials, labels, and instructions) into a single, ready-to-use package. At MDI, our teams providing kitting and assembly services work from customer-approved bills of material, pick each component under quality checks, assemble kits to spec, and prepare them for shipment or line-side delivery.

What industries commonly use MDI's kitting and assembly work?

We support medical device manufacturers, industrial OEMs, retail and consumer product companies, and agricultural producers.

What is typically included in a custom kit?

Kits range from a two-piece medical device sub-assembly with a sterile pouch to a multi-component promotional kit with product, printed inserts, and packaging. We help define the bill of materials during onboarding.

How is kitting different from general packaging?

Packaging encloses a finished product. Kitting combines multiple items into a single unit and usually includes a packaging step at the end. The value kitting adds happens earlier: component selection, sequencing, and assembly logic.

Can MDI handle both small pilot runs and high-volume production kitting?

Yes. Our kitting services scale from pilot runs of a few hundred units up to repeating production programs with tens of thousands of kits per month. Our labor and space capacity flex with customer demand, and our custom kitting solutions routinely support seasonal peaks and new product launches.

How does outsourcing kitting to MDI help my operation?

Outsourcing shifts labor, space, and inventory management off your floor and into ours. Customers typically see reduced line-side inventory, faster fulfillment, fewer picking errors, and lower fully loaded labor costs. Every project also creates meaningful employment through our social impact mission.

How do I get started with a kitting project?

Send us your bill of materials, target volume, and required packaging format. We’ll walk through the workflow, quote the project, and set up a pilot run for approval before scaling. Start the conversation through our services quote form or call our team directly.
