Koven Technology, Inc. was founded in St. Louis, MO in 1981 by Paul Koven. Paul's vision was to deliver safe and effective medical devices that would improve patient care and the efficiency of safe medical practice. This has become Koven's current goal that every employee is committed to making for you, our client, a reality.
Paul wanted to give back to his beloved city of Winnipeg, MB, where he was born and raised. In 2003, he founded Koven Technology Canada to "bring good science back to Winnipeg". Since then, Koven Canada has been providing quality products and services to the medical device community.
We take pride in the reputation we have built as a leader in developing and delivering state of the art solutions that address vascular and cardiovascular conditions.
