Our History
Drive Medical was launched in January 2000 in the United States as Medical Depot, Inc., and was quickly renamed Drive to reflect the company's mission and spirit in the medical equipment market. We rapidly became a major supplier of Durable Medical Equipment (DME). Through strategic acquisitions and sustained growth, we've evolved into a company genuinely dedicated to transforming independent living.
