Welcome to the MIP Website.
We are getting into a new era. Following five successful years, where we focused on our Vision 2020 strategic plan, I am pleased to announce that we are getting close to embark on a new journey where we will continue to spread our superior products and sound advice to a wider group of customers in the Healthcare Industry.
Since the very beginning, MIP owes it success partly to our strong culture and our dedicated colleagues. As we continue to grow, we believe it is critical that we hold on to these two elements. Therefore, we have spent much of this year focusing on “putting word” on our culture and what we are all about. We are also continuously measuring our employee engagement and we are mobilizing leaders at all levels to engage in dialogue with their teams about how we make MIP a great place to work.
In order to “rediscover” our culture and core values, we undertook 1-on-1 interviews and workshops where more than 50% of the organization participated. Workshops and 1-on-1 interviews were held at every site and the similarities in what we heard were striking. We might be oceans apart, but at MIP we truly have one culture and one set of values. They are:
Every time you meet one of our team, you can ask them about it and how they apply it in their daily professional life.
We also have started investing in areas that will have a direct impact on our customers. We wish to ensure that our innovative superior products are always introduced to you at the most competitive pricing possible. Our Supply Chain department keeps expanding. In addition to the very capable individuals that count many years at MIP, we have added additional resources in purchasing, sourcing, quality control and logistics. All to ensure that you get the best service possible at all times.
Our Marketing Department has gotten renewed energy with a team that is always on top of the latest trends and technologies and full of ideas on developing new products, exploring different sectors and ensuring that we support you with best tools and information. We are very excited about where their new ideas will take us in the coming years.
Our customers and the industry always identified MIP as one of the true innovators in healthcare textiles and related services. We will keep working at it by having a Product Development process that is efficient, attuned to your needs and always deserving of our reputation.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to me or any MIP employee with any questions, comments or concerns. We always make it a priority to listen to you and help you find ways to achieve or exceed all of your goals.
I look forward to hearing from you or seeing you at events we are attending around the world,
MIP is a Canadian company with a long history of developing innovative textile solutions for the healthcare industry. MIP was founded in Montreal in 1977 by Jerry Friedman under the name Med-I-Pant as the first manufacturer of reusable incontinence briefs for adults – a product that met a real need with dignity and practicality. As early as 1978, David Schreiner joined as a partner and took over the management of sales. Together, they laid the foundation for a company focused on solving healthcare challenges through functional, high-quality textile solutions.
From these beginnings, MIP has continued to develop – both in its product portfolio and internationally. What began with solutions for incontinence care grew into a comprehensive range of bed systems, clothing, protective textiles and distribution solutions. Today, customers in North America, Europe and beyond rely on MIP products.
MIP is now active in Canada, the United Kingdom and Germany, serving healthcare providers in over 30 countries worldwide. Long-standing partnerships with hospitals, care facilities, laundries, and distributors are based on consistency, innovation, and trust.
With the entry of Banyan Capital Partners in 2013, a new phase of growth began for MIP, accompanied by the existing management team. Even though the ownership structure has evolved, our values and our aspiration to sustainably improve care through textiles have remained unchanged. We continuously invest in our people, our infrastructure and product development – with a clear focus on sustainable, long-term added value for customers and society.
