Marlen Manufacturing & Development

Marlen Manufacturing & Development is a private U.S. ostomy care manufacturer focused on commercialized pouching systems, barriers, accessories, and related supplies for people living with ileostomies, colostomies, and urostomies. Founded in 1952, the company positions itself as one of the oldest original ostomy companies still operating in the United States and markets its products under the MARLEN brand. Its portfolio includes one-piece and two-piece ostomy systems such as UltraMax, UltraLite, MaxPlus, SuperFlat, MiniMax, and UltraMax Gemini, along with barrier rings, skin barriers, catheters, and accessories. The business appears to be primarily a medtech and durable medical supplies company rather than a drug developer, with revenue generated from established commercial products rather than a clinical-stage therapeutic pipeline.
