Over the past three years, DRE has experienced significant overall company growth. The October 2007 Edition ofLousiville Business Fast 50 has named DRE the 25th fastest growing privately owned company in the Greater Lousiville area. It is the first year DRE has been included on this list.

Much of the growth can be directly related to an expanded product line of factory new products for the operating room and surgical environments. Within the past year DRE has added a new line of vital signs monitors, surgical microscopes, a new flagship anesthesia machine, and a surgical table.

DRE continues to also expand refurbished product lines by sourcing an increasing amount of equipment from brand name manufacturers. In late 2006 DRE more than doubled the size of its in house biomedical facilities. In many cases a quality refurbished product is a better solution for the customer than paying for features that will never be utilized.

Export business has also played a very strong role. DRE International has added representatives and infrastructure to better serve Latin America, Southeast Asia, and professionals in the Middle East. By impressing international clients with a great value by providing quality equipment at affordable prices DRE is able to expand the capabilities of many professionals worldwide who would otherwise not be able effectively expand their practices. Being able to offer the choice between new and refurbished products makes a difference in these markets.
