30 Years In The Making: Himed Gets Its Own Mailing Address
A partial view of the shipping and receiving area at Himed’s facility outside of New York city.
You know that saying, “If it’s not broken, why fix it?” Well, what if something isn’t necessarily broken but could be made better with a few simple changes? That’s exactly the way we saw our address system.
Himed was founded 30 years ago within the facilities of an aerospace coating provider called Hitemco. We’ve since expanded into our own nearby facilities and our business has grown to become a leader in the biomaterials industry.
Yet, through all these years, we’ve been using Hitemco’s shipping and receiving. That setup certainly wasn't broken but we realized we could streamline the process by implementing our own address.
HIMED’S NEW ADDRESS & PHONE NUMBER

Why now?
If the pandemic has taught us anything, it’s to focus on what we can actually control. Practically every industry has been hit with delays, shortages, supply chain snafus, and other things that are out of their hands. The biomaterials and medical implant sector is no different.
So we took a laser-focused look at each step of our operations. We examined every process to see where we can improve and what we can optimize. While we can’t control shipping delays and material availability, we can make small improvements each day that ensure we keep our turnaround times tight and competitive for all of our clients.
Getting our own address is just one of the many things we’re doing to keep improving.
In 2019 we made deep investments in production equipment for our MCD apatitic abrasive to ramp up output. In 2020 we worked on outreach, developing our relationships with customers and seeking out new partnerships. Both efforts paid off and business has grown rapidly.
Now as we close out 2021, we’re looking back on a year that saw us streamlining and improving the efficiency of our business. A new address is just part of that process. We can’t wait to see what advancements 2022 may bring.
