MDG Medical has been a two-country company for the last nine years. But by March 31, 2011, the developer of automated pharmacy technology equipment and software will have completely moved its R&D group from Lod, Israel, to its Aurora location. The company will begin electromechanical assembly at the Aurora facility in 2011 or 2012.

Mark Saffran, president and CEO of MDG, says consolidating the company operations into one facility in Northeast Ohio is in direct response to MDG's goal of improving customer focus, leveraging resources and reducing expenses.

This is of course good news for Northeast Ohio. MDG has already shown a commitment to the region. At the beginning of 2010, MDG moved its corporate headquarters from Beachwood to the Aurora facility, which tripled the company's warehouse and service space and allowed MDG to expand its call center.

The company will be hiring as many as 30 people over the next several months as it looks to fill programmer, hardware engineer and manufacturing slots.

Founded in 2001 in Tel Aviv, MDG has more than 150 customers in five countries, with 95 percent of its business in the United States. The company's flagship product, ServeRx(TM), is a medication management product that increases patient safety while improving medical staff efficiency.
