Atlanta, Georgia, March 5, 2012: FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
GF Health Products, Inc. (“Graham-Field”) announced today that it will acquire substantially all of the assets of Pressure Management Group, Inc. (“PMG”). PMG, located in Jacksonville, FL, is a privately-owned manufacturer of pressure reduction support surfaces, gel overlays, mattresses, foam and gel cushions, positioning and related products for the long-term care, homecare and acute care markets. The transaction is scheduled to close on March 16, 2012.
“We are excited about combining PMG with Graham-Field to maximize our product and marketing opportunities in all of the markets we serve. The acquisition of PMG’s proprietary non-aqueous gel formulation/manufacturing process will expand Graham-Field’s ‘Made in USA’ Strategic Initiative and will enhance the market potential of Basic American Medical Products long term care beds, Patriot homecare beds and E&J wheelchairs by bundling a broad line of therapeutic support surfaces,” declared Ken Spett, President and CEO of Graham-Field.
“Our customers are looking for integrated patient solutions in their purchases, as that is what best serves their customer. The addition of the PMG product capabilities gives Graham-Field the ability to combine therapeutic pressure management products with a broad range of patient transport and sleep surfaces, creating the end result of a more cost effective solution with greater patient benefits, which our customers can pass on to the patient,” added Spett.
