"Importantly, as a second-tier supplier, we ensure reasonable pricing of our products compared to national brands and help our clients save significant money. We are also delivering efficiencies by moving huge volumes of PPE directly from the factory to IDNs and large distributors. Clients appreciate our ability to deliver products with top-notch quality as well as extremely competitive pricing, even during a time when prices and quality are highly variable," says Kumar, president and CEO of MYCO.Recently, a large IDN in the U.S. approached the company, looking for face mask suppliers. MYCO identified a face mask supplier through one of its affiliates in Japan and carried out desktop audits and sample reviews and with the IDN, put together committed orders through 2023. "We have vetted the products and secured the supply chain, so that we can continue to supply reliable products at competitive price," Kumar notes. With an elaborate sourcing network, MYCO sources products out of India, Korea, Japan, Australia, South Africa, China, and Italy. In doing so, the company follows a robust US FDA based qualification and auditing process to ensure that the products are safe for use and comply with the highest standards. Notably, MYCO has partnered with all the major national distributors to grow its product line and also caters to some of the largest healthcare systems (among the top 10) in the country. While MYCO supplies products directly to large hospitals, for smaller practitioners, the company has partnered with non-acute distributors that supply to physicians, dentists and veterinarians. "We leverage our long-standing relationships to find the best route and the most efficient way of getting these products to the end customers," he adds. As opposed to the multibillion-dollar brands on the market, MYCO is much nimbler in its approach and is able to make decisions swiftly with the ability to supply products quickly. In addition, the company is an NMSDC certified minority-owned supplier, which is an added advantage for healthcare providers as they can now rely on a supplier that is consistent and compliant. Moving ahead, the company will continue to look to grow its PPE portfolio with other products like gloves and gowns. MYCO has also lined up suppliers of safety syringes to keep pace with its potential demand for administering vaccines to COVID-19 patients in the future.
