Penton Announces Launch of Medical Design News Magazine

Posted on September 18, 2000

Penton Media, Inc. has announced it will launch Medical Design News (MDN), a bimonthly magazine, and MedicalDesignNews.com, a companion website, in January 2001. The magazine and website will focus on the medical device design industry and will join Penton's Design Engineering group of publications, trade shows, and online media serving design engineering markets.

Medical Design News will be targeted to design engineers, engineering managers, and technical personnel engaged in the manufacturing of medical components and integrated parts for the medical and biomedical industries. The magazine will launch with a guaranteed circulation of 35,000 qualified design engineers. MachineDesignNews.com will include a product locator, daily news, the basics of design engineering, new products, article archives and a career section.

Penton VP and Group Director Joe DiFranco said, ``We're perfectly positioned to enter the growing medical design market because of its natural synergy with our expertise in the broader design engineering industry. Design engineers rate Machine Design as the one publication most useful to them in their work. We want to bring this same engineering-specific expertise to the medical design segment where research tells us there is a real need for a media product like MDN.''

Penton's Design Engineering Group includes such media brands as Machine Design, machinedesign.com, and MDcybercad.com; Hydraulics & Pneumatics; PT Design; and the A/E/C SYSTEMS trade shows. Penton Media, Inc. is a diversified business media company that produces market-focused magazines, websites, trade shows, and conferences.
