"Expanding D&D West augments Viant's San Francisco Bay Area campus and boosts our ability to quickly respond to customers' prototyping, development, and manufacturing needs," said Viant CEO Alton Shader. "Working with Viant from the earliest design stages gives customers access to broad capabilities across our global network, including D&D, molding and extrusion, plastic and metal components, and complex assembly."

The expansion also establishes a new Extrusion Center of Excellence, featuring quick-turn capabilities and resident expertise to partner with customers to iterate quickly and solve complex challenges.

Viant is also currently expanding its D&D East Center of Excellence in Wilmington, Mass., which offers complementary expertise across the medtech landscape, including orthopedics, robotics and drug delivery. That project is expected to be completed by the end of 2022.
