Mark Gross

Mark Gross, our Founder and CEO, has an educational and industrial background that spans the fields of biology, chemistry and engineering. This includes wide ranging and varied functional roles in the development, manufacture, and commercial uses of hydrophilic and hydrophobic coating materials. With his expertise, passion, vision and resources, Mark founded Formacoat in 2002 to support key customers and vendors capitalizing on his extensive hydrophilic materials, medical device, and hydrophilic coatings experience in the medical device world.

Today, Mark and his team are focused on high value, fast and economically efficient R&D and validation work and excellent commercial pricing for leading edge but classic catheter type products.

Mark’s quest to provide a contract coating service with one technology has evolved into a one-stop approach to coating medical devices. This approach allows your team to focus on your core expertise, and our team to go through the market and technology options for you. When done this way, any nuances learned with a first coatings option are not lost if we decide to go to a different option. Our extensive experience with the demands of different devices, and native creativity allows us to rapidly solve your issues, or, for a simple device, just make it happen fast!

Mark has been developing relationships with different vendors to provide a broad array of different coating technologies to help customers meet specific needs. He continues to drive Formacoat toward excellence in serving customer coating needs, solving unique challenges, and providing an excellent value added service at an efficient price.

And, always, there is the enjoyment of creating win-win relationships in the process.
