Med-Tech Resource (MTR) Overview
Med-Tech Resource opened its doors in 1994 in a small, single-room office with a clear belief: Medical supplies do not need to be expensive to be effective. On our first day, we had four salespeople, my wife Ramona, and myself. We offered just five products, and either Ramona or I handled the shipping at the end of each day.
MTR grew quickly, and within a year, we moved to a 5,000-square-foot office and warehouse. As we expanded our product line, we constantly faced the challenge of convincing our larger suppliers to provide high-quality products at cost-effective prices. This led us to an important realization: To become a major player in the emergency medical products industry, MTR needed to manufacture the items used daily by fire departments, police, and EMS.
This vision led to the creation of Basic Medical, our own brand. Today, Basic Medical is one of our top-selling product lines, known for its high quality and low cost, offering our customers an excellent alternative to other branded products.
In 2018, we made a significant change in ownership to better suit our needs going forward. One of the original founders, along with our family, took over the business, transitioning away from the merger and acquisition firm that had previously been involved. This shift allowed us to refocus on what matters most: Continuing to provide exceptional products and services while staying true to the values that have driven our success since day one.
As we celebrate over 30 years in business, we reflect on the incredible journey we've had, filled with tremendous growth, strong relationships, and a continued commitment to quality. MTR's success is a result of our dedicated team, loyal customers, and the trust we've built with emergency service teams across the country. We are proud of how far we’ve come, and we are excited about the continued growth and opportunities that lie ahead for the next 30 years.
