About Us

I'm so glad that you stopped by. The original Medcare Products began as a distributor of medical products to nursing homes. Hence, the name Medcare Products. I was working in a meatpacking plant as an independent contractor. On the days that I was not contracted at the packing plant I worked in a lighting manufacturing company. One day I was assigned to a certain machine, and being a good employee followed directives from my boss. It was a punch press, which had the safety mechanisms disabled in order to speed production. I had no idea that this was done, and a few hours into the shift, my left hand was crushed in the punch press. Thankfully I did not lose any fingers, and the surgeon did a good job of restoring flexibility to my fingers. In fact, if I didn't show you the scars on my knuckles, you would never know anything had happened. So that ended my meat packing career - and naturally I wasn't interest in working for the lighting manufacturer - an unethical company that put profit over people. I was a young guy with a wife, kids, and a mortgage - so I needed to think fast.

A friend offered an empty office - actually a bathroom with the fixtures removed - and with a desk and a phone line - and I began a courier/delivery service. I was the first driver, and slowly I added more drivers. It was a tough business. Drivers were very unreliable. My best client became my friend's business - Medcare Products. Eventually he brought me into the company as a full time employee. Computerized inventory and order processing were just becoming affordable and popular. I jumped into the company like a kid in a candy store. We computerized the company. Created routines and processes which really impacted the improved profitibility of the company. I moved up the 'corporate ladder' until I was put in charge of the company. My friend and his partners parted ways, and I was put in charge of the company. I began looking into other areas that could use our products besides nursing homes. And Medcare Products, the veterinary product distributor, was born. Eventually, the nursing home division was closed, and the veterinary division was sold to me. We expanded into private label products and researched other marketplaces for our products. One of them is the BASIK O-ring syringe.

It's been more than 35 years, and I'm very thankful for the many good times. I'm still in friendly contact with the original guy who gave me a hand and hired me as well as the silent partners who eventually sold the company to me. I don't take any credit for the accomplishments here - I have a lot of appreciation to The Creator. I've experienced some tough times, and I've been the recipient of tremendous blessings too. I'm afraid I'm guilty of TMI - (too much info) Sorry!

Thanks for visiting the site. I hope our products can help you. 
Wish you all the best,
Simon
