1964
The Metrix Company was founded in Dubuque, Iowa in 1964 as Riggs Biochemical, a company that serviced the agricultural sector and pioneered fetal bovine blood collection bags, which we still produce today for customers around the world. Our mastery of RF welding and reputation for quality led us to expand into manufacturing medical devices in the 1980s, where we continued to grow.
2002
In 2002, The Metrix Company updated the Quality System to meet the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) – Medical Devices Quality Management Systems ISO 13485. The Metrix Company and Metrix Dominicana are both FDA registered, ISO 13485-certified, and each offers a ISO Class 8 manufacturing environment.
