The Apple Rubber team will kick off 2015 tradeshows with MedTech World’s Medical Device & Manufacturing (MD&M) West Expo from February 10-12 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. Serving as America’s largest MedTech event, the expo will attract suppliers, manufacturers and global experts to network and share cutting-edge medical technologies — a playground for engineers and manufacturers, essentially.
