To make new product suggestions, fill out a New Product Suggestion Form and fax it to MDA.

MDA suggest users select the "Distribution ALE" option. This will send your order electronically and has a faster response time.

The SAP order system has a proven 99% accuracy rate. Look for the green check to confirm that your order has been transmitted. If MDA has your email address on file, you will receive an email confirming that MDA received your order. If there are problems during the process, the SAP Help Desk will contact you to assist with any complications.

Green products are made from environmentally-friendly products. Other Green products are manufactured with environmentally-friendly processes. Some products cannot be recycled, so these manufacturers use recycled packaging to do their part for our environment.
