Case Study: Terumo Medical Corporation achieves lower compliance risk and faster audit readiness with Assent

Terumo Medical Adding Deep Expertise to Your Team

Terumo Medical Corporation, a global medical-device manufacturer with 1,000+ employees producing complex products across four divisions, was hampered by a manual, paper‑based supply chain sustainability program covering REACH, Proposition 65, responsible minerals, full material disclosures and an internal Materials of Concern list. Facing audits across 100+ suppliers and 20,000+ parts and the prospect of hiring two to three regulatory specialists, Terumo turned to Assent and the Assent Supply Chain Sustainability Platform to reduce regulatory risk and streamline supplier data collection.

Assent paired Terumo with in‑house regulatory subject matter experts, centralized supplier data on its platform, and provided monthly dedicated-team reviews to automate supplier engagement and monitor changing regulations. As a result, Terumo achieved a significant drop in compliance risk, can produce detailed audit-ready reports quickly, and can identify nonresponsive suppliers and material flows across markets—enabling faster sourcing decisions and greater operational confidence with Assent.
