Three veteran home care executives are at the helm of newly formed Access Point Medical, which describes itself as a “global manufacturer of high-quality, low-cost home medical equipment.”
Leading the company are CEO Hans Stover, who once headed the home care division of Puritan-Bennett, along with co-chairmen Jerry Jones and Tom O'Donnell. Jones is a former Apria Healthcare chairman and CEO, and O'Donnell has previously served as president of North American operations for Sunrise Medical.
APM said its strategy is to lower product prices by controlling its own global manufacturing facilities. The company currently has six manufacturing plants in China.
The company's initial product offering of ambulatory, bath safety and mobility products includes canes, walkers, commodes, shower chairs, transport wheelchairs and standard wheelchairs. The company plans to introduce power mobility equipment and respiratory products by the end of this year.
